IS THE WORLD OUT OF CONTROL? - WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION

Despite their best efforts, the United Nations and other organizations have failed to bring about nuclear disarmament.  Instead, defiant leaders scoff at arms control laws.  Countries with a history of nuclear weaponry are frantically upgrading their old bombs and creating new deadlier ones.  Countries that once had no mass-destruction capabilities are now able to destroy huge swaths of humanity. 

This unprecedented nuclear preparedness makes the world a very dangerous place, even in times of "peace" "Lethal autonomous weapon systems that make 'kill' decisions without human input or supervision, for example, would be particularly worrisome,," warns the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. 

Surely you can think of other grave threats to out survival.  Yet, you will not find satisfying answers about the future by analyzing all the bad things happening today.  Some may say the same about listening to politicians and scientists.  As mentioned in the preceding article, many have, however, found convincing answers to questions about world conditions and the future. Where are such answers to be found?
