The documentary below is a sharp, darkly humorous window into our collective propensity for naivete and vacuous critical and moral thinking. It's apparent how directly it can effect our environment. Some salient moments:
"Watched from a safe distance, this explosion is one of the most beautiful sights ever seen by man. You're probably saying, 'so it's beautiful, what makes it so dangerous?'"
-- Army training video (watched from a safe distance)
"nackesackee, pretty as a picture...I let the bomb go--that was my greatest thrill"-- Pilot on the bombing of Nagasaki
It's hard not to compare this sort of catastrophic enablism by an indoctrinated public to our current situation with the environment, among other things.
