I’m claiming a direct causality between how terrible the nukes were and how peaceful the subsequent decades have been. The cold war was cold because of M.A.D.

I’m claiming a direct causality between how terrible the nukes were and how peaceful the subsequent decades have been. The cold war was cold because of M.A.D. And I will compare any periods I want. The nukes fell in 1945, so I compare all of human history before that and after that. There’s a clear and massive decline even if you only look at pre-1914 rates.

> I’m claiming a direct causality You are inferring direct causality based on one event following another. That is the logical fallacy I referred to. > There’s a clear and massive decline even if you only look at pre-1914 rates. That's not what I see, so I guess we'll just have to disagree.
