55 years ago the nuclear reactors enthusiasts claimed they were so safe the was only a 1 in 10,000 year chance of them going wrong so no worries. I explained then how people are like chimps and have wars a lot more often than 10 000 years. When the chimpoids have their wars they rip up trees and smash things. Such as dams, bridges ... power stations. Heck, Americans atomic bombed whole cities. They do shock and awe. So nuclear reactors would be targets, not just accidentally damaged.. For some reason, even people like Jacob talk themselves mathematically into what they obviously want = mass destruction. The binary zero sum logic says (to them) that RussiaRussiaRussia bad, Zelensky heroic freedom fighter, we must win. No other choice. Amusingly something like half the mob think Elon's an idiot Russian/Mainlander stooge. They, who have achieved nearly nothing, consider their dumb thoughts superior to Elon's. "I fink it so it are". Dunning Kruger effect en.wikipedia.org About 80% of people think they are above average in driving skill for example. Svenson (1981) surveyed 161 students in Sweden and the United States, asking them to compare their driving skills and safety to other people's. For driving skills, 93% of the U.S. sample and 69% of the Swedish sample put themselves in the top 50%; for safety, 88% of the U.S. and 77% of the Swedish put themselves in the top 50%.
