Who will win WW3?

[Watoshi]

Based on researched 500 to 1000 nuclear warheads detonated in a week will cause a nuclear winter. And there would be no winner.

Who will lose WW3?

Everybody.

Who will lose WW3?

Everybody.

Stop spamming that "everybody loose" bullshit. There will be a winner.

[techboy2]

You have to live to win. WW III will be with Nuclear Weapons. And that can destroy everybody everywhere.

[Nemo1024]

You missed one and the only wining faction of a hypothetical WWIII in you poll:

- Cockroaches.

[galdur]

Cockroaches have been around for like 300 million years and will no doubt still be going strong after humankind is extinct.

[BADecker]

One good point. Fiat will be gone.   

[iv4n]

I voted for Russia & China (If they make alliance somehow). I agree with u about they have more man power and more resurces. There is also India and Brasil ( two big nations with very high budget for military) and its important on which sides they will be. But "just dead see the end of war" is sentence i will never forget.

haha, that's a good one!  I'm wondering if Bitcoin will survive the nuclear winter would it be possible to buy a new humanity with it?

As long as the blockchain and Bitcoin core program survive on hard drives, Bitcoin can survive. Cold doesn't generally affect the hard drives themselves. It's the heat and EMP of the nuclear blasts that are dangerous to computers.

The real question is, how many people will repair electrical generators and computers so that they can fire up Bitcoin? In addition, there would need to be a communications infrastructure like we have now to make it practical.

If the nuclear winter is bad, people will be seeking survival. Generally that means nothing fancy like computers. By the time people lift themselves out of a prehistoric form of backwardness, they will have forgotten most of technology. We need to prepare with libraries that will be safe from loss. Of course, if we print on paper in these libraries, the paper will be used as kindling.

It´ll be back to basics. People will band together, pooling skills. Expertise in various fields will be very much sought after and valuable. Doctors, dentists, botanists, teachers et cetera et cetera.

And even all this depends on how much knowledge is retained, and how much is lost in the war. If the war is bad enough, the fallout killing most of the people, even these skills and disciplines might be lost.

Well, they sure as hell won´t be training people no matter what for trades that they have no business or talent for being in, like today.

So, it´ll be a question of finding the right people to train for the diverse skills.

If we go back to the hunter gatherer stage, there might not be any diverse skills thought about for a long time.

That stage would be pretty accident-prone I guess, which means doctors. Also it´s very time-consuming. You can´t be expected to run around all day hunting and gathering and then also process and cook the food. And do all the other chores. There will always be a big market for support skills even in the most primitive environment. There won´t be 45,000 occupations catering to every possible human whim though.

Well, consider that it is almost now proven that there was an ancient civilization that was probably advanced in some ways beyond us, and that there was a climate change in the earth that all but destroyed them, and drove their descendants back to the hunter gatherer stage.

Youtube search on "Graham Hancock" and look at the evidence, not the fact that you might dislike him or his ideals.

Thanks, I will check him out

I´ve read some by Hancock, Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind

and Fingerprints of the Gods.

Not ruling anything out in that department.

The problem with the direction that Graham Hancock and others are taking us is, it is extremely dangerous. The direction that they seem to be going is the direction of using drugs to stimulate what seems to be contact of what seem to be aliens in different dimensions.

This is the exact thing that the advanced ancients seemed to have done, and the result was a crash of climate that killed almost all of them.

There is nothing wrong with advancing technologically. The wrong lies in doing things that work, without grasping the fundamentals of what you are doing. Such is delving into the so-called spirit world, and simply accepting what is given by the so-called spirits without checking out, in detail, the science behind it. Now, I am not suggesting that it is spirit contact. but there is something there that should be learned about before it is used without a great amount of study first.

Some, including myself, would say that God caused the climate disaster that destroyed the ancients. Others might say that it was the dimensional spirits that did it. Still others will say that there is a lot more to the make-up of the human mind and how it can interact with the universe, and that such interaction needs to be completely controlled to keep from causing great changes in nature and climate.

Whatever the truth is, it seems that Hancock and others, in the name of scientific advancement, are making the same mistakes that the ancients made, or at least promoting such. They are taking shortcuts to finding out about how things work, through the use of hallucinogenic drugs, etc., without attempting to find the true science behind the things that they are doing, by experimentation. Is this going to be the cause of a new nature/climate failure in the near future?
