The sheer number of nuclear weapons has reduced dramatically since the bad days of the Cold War - but I do worry that the systemic risks of having a societal collapse are much higher these days.

Looking at the banking crisis - the UK government (and probably others) were terrified of the effects of a few banks collapsing - state of emergency, troops on streets etc. How would be cope if something really bad happened - not too well I suspect.

So what do you want to say? Do you think that the chances of states of emergency should be our only worry? Or do you think that the states of emergency can even more increase the chances of nuclear accidents, even more reducing the chance of continuation of the civilization?
