Doomsday Clock to be updated against backdrop of Ukraine war

[signalmankenneth]

The "Doomsday Clock," which represents the judgment of leading science and security experts about the perils to human existence, is to be updated on Tuesday against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine and other crises.

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists will announce at 10:00 am (1500 GMT) whether the time of the symbolic clock will change.

The organization describes the clock as a "metaphor for how close humanity is to self-annihilation" and says the annual resetting should be seen as a "call-to-action to reverse the hands."

Our overlords lie to us constantly now.

You were supposed to figure this out before now.

The Doomsday clock is purely political and has no resemblance to reality

Every time, historically, a Republican was in office the clock was moved closer to midnight. When a Democrat was in office, it was moved further away. This includes during the Cuban Missile Crisis where the US and Soviet Union came within seconds--quite literally seconds and the decision of one man on a Soviet submarine--of having a nuclear war.

The clock is utter bullshit propagated by Leftist academics.

As a leftist I want it clear that I am innocent.
