Every race has to have a finish line
- sobellian 6y agoThe most obvious counterexample to this would be an arms race.
- conk 6y agoMaybe we just haven’t hit the “finish line” yet with the arms race...
- Teknoman117 6y agoI really hope that line would have been "the weapons are good enough", but considering the US stockpile of nuclear weapons at the end of the Cold War was enough to cause the extinction of humanity a few times over, I guess not...
- learc83 6y agoThe claim that we have (or had) enough nuclear weapons to cause the actual extinction of humanity, much less cause it several times over, is dubious. If you google it there are numerous articles debating it. At the very least there isn’t scientific consensus.
- danielheath 6y ago> scientific consensus Do you propose an experimental measurement? /s
- gengear 6y agoWe can reduce this to halting problem. We will never know finish line exists until we reach one?
