Heard of Vasily Arkhipov? Stannislav Petrov?

Jeez. I can't believe history doesn't teach us of these people. I just read how they prevented what would probably have been nuclear anihilation.

My theory is there are 100s of timelines where humanity nuked itself. 100s of timelines where I was never born, or got kidnapped during that “running away” incident, or got murdered by my brother during a fight, or died of suicide.

Hell, those timelines could've been on different planets with completely different human equivalents. It's not even too science - fiction to believe that, it's fully reasonable.

Like Steins;Gate with Okabe

Saw that whole series. It was really, really good. I was fully invested by the end haha.

Maybe this whole time since the "beginning" of the world we've just been trying to not wipe ourselves out in war.
