This argument that the world is more peaceful than ever is true... but it's true for a really bad reason. It's true because we have nukes. Full stop.

The aforementioned nukes, climate change, environmental collapse, bioweapons, topsoil erosion... it's not an illusion created by the media. We're really not in good shape.
