I know someone is gonna be like: You can’t build a nuke with only the information, the hard part is getting the [uranium/plutonium (or whatever its calledl]!

Thought Experiment:

Suppose in the future, humans all have an innate ability to summon nuclear bombs by doing a ritual, should instructions on how to do this ritual be legal to disseminate?

Or would you censor it for the safety of everyone? I mean, imagine everyone having a nuke that they can just summon… 👀

So… what say you, fellow fediverse user?

Should this hypothetical “summon-a-nuke” ritual be legal to teach people?

    Im a knowledge should be free type. Fact is if such a ritual existed it would not stay secret long. Might be able to put it off but it would get out. US tried this with nukes and it did not keep it secret for long. The thing that makes having nukes hard for countries is the difficultly and expertie needed to refine.
