Some of the best people ever to exist are people who could have launched nukes, but didn’t. This suggests a new high-priority career path:
Join the military.
Get yourself into the chain of people who are responsible for launching nukes.
If at any point you are told to launch a nuke or given the authority to launch a nuke, don’t.
Probably a depressing career path because there’s a ~99.99% probability that you will never do anything important. But it could be high EV.
Being the person who doesn’t launch nukes: new EA cause?
