> Again, this is just delusional. Nuclear waste can not be society ending.
What does this sentence mean?
>If your society isn't capable managing nuclear waste then nobody will care anymore anyway.
- LegionMammal978 3y agoBy my reading, it's the opposite, that only a society that has already ended (of some other cause) would be incapable of managing nuclear waste; dangerous levels of mismanagement would only occur in a postapocalyptic setting or similar.
- smaudet 3y ago"dangerous levels of mismanagement would only occur in a postapocalyptic setting." I know it's not your argument, but based on what exactly? Accidents (repeatedly) happen. I don't get where this concept comes from that accidents are suddenly "delusional". If you don't believe me go check your home house fire rate. Accidents are frequent, safety controls just help reduce frequency. There is nothing delusional here, other than the idea we can suddenly obviate accidents.
- flangola7 3y agoWhich civilization has lasted so long that nuclear waste mismanagement would never have become an issue? Every nation, every civilization, falls in time.
- paavope 3y agoI think the argument was that if the society loses the ability to manage nuclear waste, it would have been due to some societal collapse caused by other reasons.
