Once in a while a podcast really hits the spot. This one was it for me! I am Sooooo glad as an owner/ manufacturer of electrical wire harnesses I turned down, and basically kicked the buyer off of my quotation list, who was working at Raytheon. He kept bugging me several times over the year, to help them make guidance system wiring, for their military products. At the time I was the only company that owned special tooling that could make the harnesses necessary that they required. I was even threatened by the buyer about Raytheon clout. I can now know that nothing I made to my knowledge has killed another human. I knew it was wrong back then to play a part in the build for a weapon of mass destruction, and this podcast has confirmed my decision as right, when I decided to not help back in the late 1990's .

I would love to be proven wrong - but you sound like most Americans - conceited in your humility. I'll freely admit - I roll my eyes at the sight of any, ANY American and when you guys say anything; it's enough to make me throw up. Germans AND Germany were castigated and bear the ignobility for butchering 6 million Jews. Americans and USA would in the not too distant future; be tried for the crimes of American Corporations, Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed-martin, CNN, Fox News, CitiBank, AIA, Google, Microsoft, etc, etc. On the subject of nuclear war; do you know why the Annie Jacobsons and so-called 'EXPERTS' crow 24/7 about America's nuclear might ? Because USA is completely surrounded by non nuclear-armed neighbors who are not in any position to retaliate when radio-active isotopes from an adversary's nuclear strike on US soil, blows into their territory. Whereas, EVERY nuclear-armed adversary of USA has a NATO neighbor, or a US pet-dog like in Japan or South Korea; where a nuclear retaliatory strike by US would bring howls of distress when the radio-active isotopes waft over. Enjoy that America.

Part of my service as a Royal Military Policeman going to West Germany in the 1980s, was to assess and plot fallout from tactical nukes. Plot the danger zones. We were considered as expendable. But back then, we had somewhat competent and sane statesman who were trying to de-escalate as much as possible. What is worrying me now is that we don’t. We have incompetent buffoons in control, who are detached from reality.

Annie interviews people who go deep, very deep, down critical pathways and she can release the intelligence and isolation that goes with these roles. It lets us look behind doors that are closed to me and you and a dog named Boo. This podcast shows us that the further down these pathways you walk the more at risk we are of losing our humanity, perhaps quickly, perhaps totally. First class episode.
This is the single best podcast I have ever heard. Best in terms of honesty, useful information, and the most profound truths: that we do not need enemies. It is possible and necessary to disagree where we do - but not make enemies. Bless you both.

This is weird, I agree with you both. You can drive yourself insane fretting about this because it's huge and terrifying. But there is a small element of it within our control - whether or not we call on our leaders to approach global conflicts in a way that makes nuclear way less likely, to put checks in place to protect their nuclear warheads from AI interference if possible (new fear opened up for me today by Annie, haha), and for every to reduce the number of warheads they have. Doing your bit might help appease the worry and guilt because at least you tried - after that, it's out of hands, yep.

I too am first generation Polish, both my parents lived through the war mom a civilian a d dad, a soldier. When I was 15 I asked my parents, relatives and friends of my parents this question. If you knew on the first day of the war that you would live through WW2 and go on with regular lives afterwards would you choose to live through the war or, die the first day from a nuclear blast. Every single one of them said they would choose to die on day one. Not a single one amongst them said live. Something to think about and I asked 16 of them.

Ground zero is small. You and most people would probably live through a climate interface attack. Even in an all out nuclear war, your chances of going quick are small. I suggest you avoid slow death from starvation or radiation exposure by making preparations to survive initial hostilities and the chaos sure to follow. If you do this as part of a group, your chances of survival rise exponentially.

This is one of your best discussions yet. Fantastic work.
'Was he happy'. I think the older you are, 'happy' becomes less important than deep contentment. Growing old is about appreciating the reasons and solutions chosen over a lifetime. Trying to live well, accepting that mistakes are made, that you're not always in control and do the best you can in the circumstances. There are a lot of past decisions that you have to be comfortable with.
I’ve been watching this show for a while, and haven’t been as transfixed, empathetic, and emotionally connected as this episode. Partly because seeing Steve be lost for words, and seeing Annie Jacobson be near tears - shows the humanity that’s so deeply needed at this time.

I have remembered seeing this movie in the 1980’s “ The Day After “ now I’m in my 57 years old Ever since as the young age, my mind has changed. I would recommend people to go and see this movie, if is still around, they will understand better what Mrs. Annie Jacabsen talking about and their souls would understand better….😢😢😢

Pretty good movie but real thing would be even worst. Lots of accurate details like car batteries not working when thermo-nuclear warhead goes off but in reality if you were that close so you can see it aftershock would blow you away with a truck full of cement.

What a phenomenal interview! So touching She’s so soothing to listen to isn’t she
Bought her book after watching this. These past guests have been so much more powerful and interesting (including Robert Lustig in the newest video). They deliver an impactful message. Congratulations on the direction of this channel! I've been a subscriber for a little while, no regrets.
You weren’t kidding when you said you’d start expanding and leveling up on the guests you’d have. This conversation was incredible, massively informative and important to hear. Even with all of this info, I’m still optimistic our species will find our way out of all of this nuclear threat mess intact. Thanks for the convo ❤️

We need this conversation... really, why? I mean, what did she say that you didn't already know? Not to mention the fact that none of us "ordinary citizens," civilians, can do anything about it, we have ZERO influence or control over the way a nuclear war would unfold, ZERO. And more than that, what did she actually say beyond that if an all-out nuclear war breaks out, we're basically all f'cked and are going to die and there's not a damn thing any of us can do about it?

We’ll be stuck in place, but we won’t all be “gone.” Research the facts over the propaganda.
As someone in the US who is solidly GenX and was subjected to a Cold War education, I remember in my lifetime having that sword dangling over everyone’s heads, that current of societal anxiety running under everything, and I remember the optimism of the 90s when it seemed like all that was going away. Surprise! Things have gotten even less stable and more dangerous, and leaders are actually talking about using nuclear weapons instead of repeating the mutually assured destruction line. WTAF.

As a fellow Gen-Xer, I have a diary I kept in the 6th grade in which I would estimate how many days were left before the world ended. In the 4th grade (1979), our teacher asked us to draw a picture of the year 2000, and many of us drew post-apocalyptic scenes. Today, people aren't scared enough. We should keep trying every day for peace talks with Russia over Ukraine, even though Putin is nuts and terrible.

It’s very concerning that men of power may not have the capacity for empathy and compassion that it takes to assist mankind in surviving. The enormity of these weapons and their existence has always been a sign of man’s mental incapacity. If man had a capacity of knowledge for life and our beautiful world that exists for us, these weapons would never even be considered. Humans have become so ill of mind and needs a great healing.

I have so much respect for your work. You are the best interviewer. You ask thoughtful questions, don’t talk too much, or talk over/interrupt your guests. This is the most profound discussion I’ve heard in ages. So much info to process. I have one ethics question about dropping the bombs on Japan that wasn’t addressed. Should we not use every weapon available to stop the aggressive advancement of evil forces in the world as quickly as possible? This couldn’t be a more timely subject, as we consider the character and integrity and ideology of the leaders of the world. Thank you. Excellent history lessons!
