Surveys of teenagers in the UK when I was younger showed that most thought they would die because of nuclear war. Puts things in perspective
@sjzara Hmmm. Just because teenagers respond that way to a survey, doesn't mean they really think it.

@PhilosophyExp You are right, but being alive then, it felt like that to me. -
@sjzara I'd be interested to see the survey data. Trouble is, I know from experience it's damned hard to track down historical stuff. -
@PhilosophyExp I only have a memory of a survey, which could mean I'm talking nonsense. -
@sjzara The other thing is I'd expect a "die in a nuclear war" option to appeal to teenagers, because it's dramatic, apocalyticy, etc. -
@PhilosophyExp That's really interesting - yes, I can see that now in hindsight.
