The human species really could have faced global thermonuclear war. During seventy years of Cold War we grew used to it.

During the Cold War, we gathered information by listening to the Soviets, taking pictures of the Soviets, and we allowed our human intelligence to decline.

I absolutely don't think a sentient artificial intelligence is going to wage war against the human species.

The Cold War is over but Cold War thinking survives.

I don't think of kids as a lower form of the human species.

In the separation of the human species from nature, life goes awry.
