I though leaders were cool headed and rational, that they would never destroy the world.
Then I learned about Cuban Missile Crisis with Vasily Arkhipov, and the radar false alarm invident with Stanislav Petrov, amongst many more “close call” incidents. Our world almost died.
I mean like: If the many-worlds theory is true, there are probably some universes where WW3 happend and most of life is dead. Probably every 9 out of 10 universes, we died. We are alive because of luck. (I mean, we wont exist to be able to perceive a dead universe anyways).
But that can happen again. Its not over.
The “Doomsday Clock” is a prediction by scientists of existential risk to humanity, and these scientists are predicting an even more tense doomsday risk than ever before, even more so than the height of the Cold War.
(I actually had a dream/nightmare of see a nuke go off outside my window. Maybe its a vision of another timeline, or the future… 🤷♂️)
I’ve been having them too, or rather continuations of the exact same dream.
It always starts with this weird reddish purple sky, glowing in the North as the nuclear Holocaust begins. My partner and I try to run and bug out, getting two of our bags and most of our supplies, but we’re caught in gridlock. In my desperation, my vehicle gets hamstrung by a broken fence post as I try to reroute offroad around traffic.
Each week it continues and we get a little farther but… it’s bleak.
Mine was that: I was on my phone, my phone goes blackscreen, then I look up, lights flicker a bit and turn off, I look at my laptop, and it also dies 2 second later after flickering, then I look outside my window, a huge mushroom cloud, then I wake up. And I woke up with like panic and heartrate so fast…
Honestly, maybe my brain is trying to tell me to write a story about nukes.
Nuclear War.
