On Nuclear Warfare and Non-rational Beliefs:
Between 1200 BC and 800 BC there was this event called “The Bronze Age Collapse” (This is thought to have happened not too long after the Trojan War in Greece or the Reign of Ramses II in Egypt). Mycenaean Greece, Minoans (who had become a province of Mycenaean’s), Hittites have all collapsed. Assyrians, Egyptians and Babylonians were greatly weakened and became just a shadow of what they were before this event.
One had to wait nearly 4 centuries before new great powers started to emerge again like the Greeks, the Medians or Persians or the Neo-Assyrian, Phrygian and Neo-Hittite city states + Urartu Kingdoms etc. (in the South-Eastern parts of Modern Turkey).
So civilization did collapse without nuclear weapons and has flourished (without nuclear weapons) in the past.
But it is still a terrible way to die. Don’t you think so?
