11 year old boys and nukes in space
Yeah - I've been reading about the awful threat of Russia sending its evil nuclear weapons up into space to destroy our benign satellites. Shock horror - we could lose TikTok coverage and our media focus on Taylor Swift!
Not to mention that it's not a great idea to cause nuclear explosions in space, and spread toxic radioactive debris all over the place.
But - is it true?
Are the Russians that stupid?
or the North Koreans, or the Chinese ? Or anyone else that we're scared of?
Well, they might be. Because. Here's the rub. The biological development of the male does mean that they have a tendency towards aggression, and to develop inhibition rather late - say towards the age of 30. So the young teenage boys, on average, are a bit keener on risk-taking than they will be at later ages.
This aggression, competitive drive, and low fear of danger was probably useful way back when sabre-toothed tigers were the big threat. But not so useful now when other teenage boys can be a big threat.
The problem is - that risk-taking, competitive, aggressive teenager seems to still live and thrive within the men that are actually running things in our world.
They probably are not planning nuclear weapons to hit satellites, because even they see what a stupid idea that is. However, they're surely organising all sorts of other ways to damage the satellites of "the other side". Do you think for one moment that it's only the Russians etc who are doing this? Of course the 11 year-old boys inside the psyche of the Western leaders are up to the same tricks, and probably leading the pack.
