- mort96 4y agoMost generations haven't grown up with the constant message of "all scientists agree that we are completely and utterly fucked" hanging over them, with constant messaging from the UN that we're blowing last point of no return after point of no return. I'm not trying to minimise the Cold War, it must've been terrifying. But it was always, "we'll be completely fucked if the war turns hot". But hey, maybe there's great studies which prove that the impending doom doesn't negatively impact people's emotional state. That would be nice. I'm just saying the article needs something more than a South Park reference to back that up.
