Mutually assured destruction only works as long as everyone is playing the game. You get one entity that doesn't give a fuck and then the nukes start flying.
this a legitimate concern

Are they really going to have access to any significant nuclear weapon? They still know we'd immediately wipe them out.
see here's the thing a terrorist cell can, if it gets hold of a nuclear device, even a small one like a suitcase nuke, use it and not have that use attributed to another state. Responding in kind would be diplomatically troublesome and we'd probably end in another extended, difficult conflict like Afghanistan. They probably also don't care they just want infidels to die.

With Quick-Reply you can write a post when viewing a topic without loading a new page. You can still use bulletin board code and smileys as you would in a normal post.

They shouldn't be legal just for medical treatment, they should be legal in general. No government has an ethical right to dictate what people can and can't do to their own body.
Agreed. Though, I only recommend the use of cannabis and alcohol in moderation.

Yes, I'm letting an Internet site judge my personality over the three psychologists I've encountered.

He's got some pretty interesting views but his soft spot for Buddhism is a bit strange. Wonder what his views on scientific research into meditation has shown that it doesn't always promote well being and can even worsen clinical depression, which is unsurprising to me.
I'm also entirely unsure about his views about morality. . .as in I'm not sure exactly what they are and how he reaches the conclusion that metaethical judgements can be reached objectively.

It's effectively a gridlock. Even if, there's a war going on somewhere, they won't fire the nukes. Because if they did, everybody would. The country being hit, if capable, would send them back.
Mistakes and jumping the gun with other countries could easily be made when a projectile is spotted travelling through airspace. Russia, for instance.
In order for any country to fire their nukes, it would have to inform all others first. Which would, essentially sink the firing under lines of red tape and arguing.
So, no.
Nuclear devices don't stop wars. They stop themselves. They only stop other people from firing theirs. Conventional war can still easily occur because nobody in their right mind would ever fire because of the return volley. But there's too many ties and interconnected supply lines nowadays for conventional war to be considered.
that was the point of the proliferation. We thought the Germans were building them so we built them hoping to keep them from firing them at us. When we found out we were the only ones that had them we figured why not use them to avoid a messy invasion. Russia built them to keep us from firing them and so on and so on. However I do think they played a part in avoiding major conflicts between superpowers in the following decades, hence proxy wars during the cold war. Fact remains though that mistakes can be made and both parties came close several times just from near accidents.

I guess I'm having difficulty distinguishing between what is meant by induction in epistemology, versus that of mathematical induction, which Gödel has demonstrated to show completeness and consistency (as in the proof works for all inputs of whatever function it's addressing).
Here:
Although its name may suggest otherwise, mathematical induction should not be misconstrued as a form of inductive reasoning (also see Problem of induction). Mathematical induction is an inference rule used in proofs. In mathematics, proofs including those using mathematical induction are examples of deductive reasoning, and inductive reasoning is excluded from proofs.
Things like this aren't an issue for Popperians; many critical rationalists have come to identify mathematical operations like Bayesian inference as valuable ways of testing the mettle of propositions. (At least, objective Bayesianism is, not so much subjective Bayesianism. Although I must admit I don't quite understand the distinction).
Bayesian reasoning has become indispensible in some circles.
