Thanks for the additional article on nuclear war. Quite brilliant and insightful; one hopes many will take heed!

I wish I were influenced by Mumford, like people say they have been moved by this or that author. Instead of this, unfortunately, I have been rather influenced by how things turned out to be.

It just happens, historically at least, that he did predict it all quite accurately, for his own credit, and that has saved him the embarrassment of us having to write those damning words he prophesied on his grave. But this should not be taken neither as a consolation on his part nor as a victory on our end, because as I said: we have been influenced by how things turned out to be.
