 I read Megan's comment differently. The explanation seems to paint it as a ''"Why don't you care about this instead?"''. I read it as ''"People are stupid. Here's another example of people being stupid"'' [[User:Jdluk|Jdluk]] ([[User talk:Jdluk|talk]]) 13:28, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

		+	I don't quite agree with the ''second'' part of the explanation text: ''"this kind of big-picture planning actually doesn't exist ... This is of course a scary thought,..."'' As the first commenter mentioned, it would be scarier if there was such planning of the lack of care and handling for the consequences -- the arms race was planned, the consequences probably not so much. It's on auto-pilot, or otherwise said "it will be someone else's problem... later". <br>
