See, that's why it's upsetting that I had the thought that I had.

The world has become so precarious, so permeated with the tension of a looming World War that can never happen because nukes, and so off-kilter, with recent extreme and abnormal events (like pandemics, the rise of neo-fascism, suddenly artificial intelligence is literally a thing, etc) that we find ourselves easily considering truly ridiculous, extreme, and improbable possibilities.
