Exactly, that's why I propose every person has access to a nuke.
Elephant in the room here: the scale of technology matters. Being able to lie on a scale that eradicates truth as a concept matters.
We can't just naively say all tools are similar. No no, it doesn't work that way. I'm fine with people having knives. I'm fine with people having a subset of firearms. I am not fine with people having autonomous drones, or nuclear weaponry, or whatever. Everything is a function of scale. We cannot just remove scale from the equation and pretend our formulas still hold up. No, they don't. That's why the printing press created new religions.
