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

@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 There is some weird pleasure in dramatic victimhood. -
@sjzara Yes, absolutely - the extraordinary death giving significance to the ordinary life, etc. Especially if it's just imagined!
