Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

even the craziest of nations have yet to do shit
i'm not arguing that mutually assured destruction is anywhere near a sane doctrine but when it comes to nuclear arms people are usually just flailin' they arms around

why
saying something isn't going to happen because it hasn't happened yet is fundamentally flawed
TFS you are assuming this is the only thing that changes though
if all other things are constant, then yeah, I can see how some of what you say is logical
but the assumption that other factors remain the same is a naive one
nuh uh, it's not naive because it's assuming the worst
You do that.

i don't outright say the phrase nuclear warfare won't happen
but man, the world and people's need to sustain seems don't come off as anything leading up to thermonuclear war anytime soon
well, yet okay

I dunno, I'm pretty sure it's safe to take the stance that the pace of change itself is prone to change
add to that the idea that just because something is moving along based on an existing trend doesn't mean it will continue on that way
I learned in my highschool stats class that extrapolation isn't a safe means of creating data.
This is how to argue right?

we'd all die immediately
zombie apocalypse nerds first
then I was a robot.
I think you under-estimate humanity's ability to do a half-assed job, teefs.
We're not even fully invested in trying to kill ourselves right now, chances are we're going to do a very poor job of it.
The western culture we enjoy right now is obviously unsustainable, and some problems that everyone wrote off as being 'too far away to deal with' are finally coming to a head, but really the decline of western civilization seems much more likely to go out with a slow whimper than an apocalyptic bang.
There will be a lot of crying, bloodshed and gnashing of teeth as we slowly adapt what's left of our society to one that actually has to live with their being Limited Resources (instead of More Resources in the Next Country).
From there humanity will simply live in the shadow of what we were capable of for some generations, and then begin to adapt and advance again, more conscious of our limited resources.
i don't state it as fact this just a opinion

is it because nerd brains are the biggest and juiciest
Its just that BRIC and the EU are gonna replace the US with a softer, but still harshly imperialistic hegemon. There is nothing in modern politics that genuinely suggests otherwise (except maybe the pipeishdream of a United Bolivarian South America, saving the inevitable US invasion of Colombia and Venezuela to "keep the peace")
Kinda want this to happen now

he'd like this thread
Hi might I introduce you to neoliberalism, the driving force behind western global politics since the end of WW2.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_bank
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Organisation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAFTA
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAFTA
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMF
So on and so forth. It hugely benefits everybody at the top (by, surprise, funnelling wealth from the people who actually create it, workers, to the people who just manage it), and there's no reason for the people at the top to say 'gosh lets just STOP weatherstripping our homes with cash!"
it's because they'd go all star wars kid with the shaolin spades they built in shop class and be immediately murdered
or they'd piss their pants and cry, either way
Insects ain't never gonna die out, baby
that way the whole way there you can be shooting tea party demonstrators and border patrol guards
