No

Modern humans actually live in the most peaceful, safest, and cozies era compared to all humans that ever existed.

bro probably posted this from the comfort and safety of his cozy house

there could be a nuke heading towards my house at any moment

i actually agree that it's probably the coziest era (the variety of comforts that some experience today is unparalleled), but saying it's the safest might be a stretch.

ok the safety part depends where you are but its definitely safer than lying around outside

@yeah, that doesn’t seem right. 6,000 years ago there were no nuclear bombs that could wipe out all of humanity 💀

thats exactly what im saying

yeah. i just used the (@) bc it's funny that i was agreeing with you and your username is @/yeah :)

some argue that the threat of those nukes existing has lowered the chance of a world war

yeah, but the threat/risk is still there because they exist. at any moment, the leader of any nuclear-armed country could use a nuke (or somehow have their systems hacked/breached leading to the use of them.) also, they have already been used on civilians (and have killed over 300,000 people). at the end of the day, nukes existing makes the world a more unsafe place. regardless of the threat of mutually assured destruction decreasing the risk of them being used.

the fact is, even if the threat of being destroyed by a nuke is low right now (because of mutually-assured destruction), that risk would be 0 is they didn’t exist. at any given moment, a lot of people have nukes aimed at/near them (there's probably one aimed at near me right now)
