in a universe of unknown outcomes. we have all of these political leaders who are all wedded to this illusion of a known and noble universe, when we don t live in such a universe. if you can imagine north korea ending up worse than it is now, is not with regard to its people. i can t imagine it ending up worse with regard to north korean people. but with regard to the fact that somebody could have a nuclear bomb. of course. i m going to be the polyana for a minute and say a third era ended this weekend. sadly, but a very positive era, and that s with the death of vaclav havel, i think it s worth remembering. a lot of people were saying these sorts of things when you had the soviet block collapse. a lot of people were scared. that was a nuclear power. there were potential nuclear successive states, ukraine, kazakhstan. people were really worried about apocalypse. and i think looking back, we should say, first of all, thank you, god, for vaclav havel, and also his velvet revolutions
