If someone tells you that we’re closer to nuclear doom now than during the Cuban Missile Crisis, I don’t think you should take their analysis particularly seriously.
- ben_w 4y agoI believe the claim is that all risks combined now are slightly greater than the average nuclear risk during the 1953-1960 period. Regarding the Cuban Missile Crisis in particular, the Wikipedia page says: > The closest nuclear war threat, the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, reached crisis, climax, and resolution before the Clock could be set to reflect that possible doomsday.[citation needed] If someone could add a citation, please do.
