I notice that I am confused. What did Bloch exactly claim? That the next World War would result in destruction of the entire civilisation? Or a sufficiently capable civilisation would come up with a way to wipe out humanity? If the former, then it is disproven, and if the latter, then mankind didn’t have any doomsday machines before the 1940s. Of course, I do beloeve that Bloch’s words do describe the modern world since an unknown moment after WWII.
