38		-====Nuclear war will not cause the doomsday scenarios they assume. Nuclear fallout and radiation are myths used to misguide the public. Nuclear war would be very much survivable, it's empirically proven by natural disasters and the bombs dropped in Japan. Prefer our evidence, it cites specific studies and Ivy League professors, their evidence assumes stacked studies.====

72		-====Nuclear war is inevitable because of resource shortages, overpopulation, easy access to plutonium, industrialization, and the desire for something to gain. We must seek nuclear war now; it is the only solution to the environmental crisis and human misery, poverty, and hopelessness. Each year 30,000 species go extinct as a result of industrialization and overpopulation, only nuclear war can solve these problems. Delay only risks extinction of other species and humanity. This is our chance to save the environment and ourselves.====

113		-===Subpoint C: Conciousness Shift===
114		-
115		-
116		-====First, to move beyond the static order of things in which we must await our fate wondering only how long to live and how bad the weapons we must consider the possibility that it is only through a nuclear war that we could prevent something far worse later. Only by allowing nuclear war to occur can we shift from the dichotomy of war and peace to a new age of harmony, to be co-creators of Earth. This is the only way to solve for their impacts and to bear witness to all beings, including humanity.====
