RE: Which Do You Value More: Freedom or the Well-being Freedom Brings?

If someone is crazy enough to kill 50+ and then take their own life, do you think they might also be crazy enough to detonate a nuclear bomb?
If so, Vegas might not exist right now.

Most likely, but in an environment of true freedom, I have doubts a nuclear weapon would exist, if it did, whoever controlled its usage would be highly under watch and made transparent, perhaps blockchain could facilitate this; also we are talking about hypotheticals here.

I think guns would serve some purposes in a voluntary society, though there's room for innovation in more defensive type tools to counteract violence.

I'd love to see more of this for sure.

That reminds me, I read something recently about Thorium Salt Nuclear reactors. They are safer than what we have today, but originally they were not used because it was too difficult to create weapons-grade material from the process. Sad how the priorities of war dictate so much of life.

Yup, the development of nuclear weapons is backwards and not conducive toward freedom.
