apparently any war-making device that can be built will be built, even if its only possible use is the self-destruction of our race.
There are now several important counterexamples to that claim, listed in decreasing order of importance (due to decreasing plausibility that they’d actually be militarily effective) --Various bioweapons —Various nuclear weapons even more powerful than the H-bombs we built so far —Various exotic weapons like the nuclear-powered radiation-spewing cruise missile —Militarization of space (the project orion space dreadnaught proposal) --Weaponization of genetic engineering
