- tekla 3y agoThats already covered under Fermi
- trashcanman 3y agoWe’ll see what the net savings in human hours really are when that experiment concludes
- vkou 3y ago> Otherwise there would be another world war One of the two major nuclear powers is trying their damned hardest to break MAD. Does this mean that we can hold the people working on it responsible for billions of deaths, should they succeed? Can we hold them responsible for unprecedented crimes against humanity - today? Or can we at least get them to stop doing what they are doing, and call it even?
- hulitu 3y ago> Can we hold them responsible for unprecedented crimes against humanity - today? No. Crimes against humanity applies only to small countries who lose the war with big countries.
