If someone is standing over you, ordering you...people give up any actual authority most of the time
A guy in a white coat saying 'the experiment must continue' was enough for people to feel pressured to give what they thought were electric shocks to people screaming in agony or in medical distress

HUMANS DO JUST THAT.
Except, they kinda don't.
The key difference here and there, and with that terrible shock experiment is thusly
Is the decision yours to make.

and choosing to be the weak link that stopped the progression into the world's greatest shitshow of destruction
saved humanity from ourselves.
And the movie WAR GAMES is about that weak link, about how humans can't be trusted ... to blindly follow orders.
The weird thing is, most of the time?

There's an old 'joke' that's not a joke and I don't recall who came up with it
but it was said that anyone who decided they must launch weapons of mass destruction, like nuclear weapons
should be required to knife to death the person with the codes to get those codes, because it's that serious.

He felt sure it must be an error, despite it having gone through '30 layers of verification'.
He held off. He was sure it HAD TO BE a mistake...but that was human gut instinct.
He was right. And so the world did not end in 1983.

He knew if he was wrong, that would be his death. Absolute treason.
But ... why would the US only launch five missiles?
He also didn't trust the new system. The other officers who held his shift would've simply called it in, he later said repeatedly. They were 'good soldiers' ...

Machines make mistakes.
In 1983, 5 nuclear missiles from the United States were headed towards the USSR.
Stanislav Petrov had this information. It was his job to inform superiors who would launch a counterstrike.
It was the start of what would have been the Last War.
He pressed X to doubt.

Supongo que pedir a los hombres que denuncien los chats de hombres en los que se comparten videos íntimos de mujeres es llevar el feminismo demasiado lejos.

Este miércoles vamos a tener nuevos datos, muy reveladores y alarmantes, sobre el impacto de las constelaciones de satélites. No puedo comentar más porque el trabajo está embargado pero estoy preparando unas declaraciones para varios medios de comunicación.
