The postmodern world exists in a post-Cold-War period defined by the techniques of mass fear like nuclear missiles and the Red scare. The current military generation however has no actual experience of war and brushes such threats off with consummate ease.

When you hear people say “we’ll just use those Minuteman missiles to sort the Russians out,” and they do not realize that such weaponry is out of shelf-life, you see the problem here: they are acting out the post-WW2 narrative without adapting to the current time.

To live in the future we must recognize that our time is the post-hegemonic era in which everybody can have nuclear missiles. In fact, with the advent of millions of robots replacing humans not only as soldiers, but in space stations, automated aircraft, pilotless boats, and drone submarines overwhelming what’s left of human armies, nuclear bombs may be a very nice antidote because no humans will die, and if they do, we can just manufacture more robots.

The real problem though is not external conflict, which can be managed by proper military diplomacy and regional security architectures, the real problem is a lack of belief in humanity as a thing worthy in itself combined with re-financialization, or the tendency to make money not through production but through salesmanship. Humanity is in decline and looking for easy ways out.

This casual acceptance of nuclear conflict is already pointing to the decline of humans as a species. Exacerbating this condition is the Western financial system according to Australian economist Prof Steve Keen:

Conventional economics left out the entire physical world: The standard production model combines technology, labor (humans as cogs), and machines. No energy. No soil. No natural inputs. That omission was never just academic. We are now living the consequences.

The globalist domination of the world demonstrated callous disregard of humans, not just by murdering millions of manufactured foreign enemies, but hundreds of thousands of American citizens, maybe more if suicides and externally caused fatalities like school shootings since the 1950s are considered.

America soothed the callous nature of their systemic conscience by allowing China to manufacture all their goods like the backward child they thought it was. This proves beyond any shadow of a doubt, the systemic failure, as I as a member of the audience faintly observed already in 1988.

As my physicist Dad used to say: “Nuclear bombs are a bigger problem for the owner, than for the opponent.”

The critical part of a human is to function as a human, and humans are not Gods and therefore don’t need nuclear bombs but human-friendly systems, starting with proper language(s), including a new economic system enhancing human functionality, not productivity i.e., no more international Bond Markets.

Considering the above, it is plausible that language is stronger than bombs, but in the opposite direction, i.e., it is a functional force multiplier. What we idealize will come to pass, and we need to use language like a nuclear weapon to eliminate the inhuman system that rules us.
