Statement

In thinking about issues, when I arrive at nuclear weapons everything else stops. It is the one thing that could end the possibility of working through anything else. It is the most dire, the scariest thing, that we have ever come up with. It is the most important bit of material for us to learn the lesson of laying aside that which is wrong. The ability to annihilate can never be comparable to strength of spirit and character. It is essential that we master this as soon as possible: the potential to end all life on the planet is with us at every moment, even accidentally.
