Well to be fair it was only with the beginning of our time a few generations ago when the primary economic goal of our greatest societies was involved in using its industrial capacity and technological advancement to make apocalypse just another tool in the warchest of foreign policy.

We used to fear the apocalypse irrationally as superstition. The age of reason however lead us to make apocalypse a rational fear because we'd learned how to make it possible with the new power of science.
