- 4) If the risk of nuclear war is not zero—it is an eventual certainty
The alternative is to maintain a distance towards the social order in order to open the lack. We endorse the gap between ideologies. This is the only space that true revolutionary action can occur. The role of the intellectual is not to live in a founded reality—but rather to call out its artificial nature.Zizek, 93 (Slavoj, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Social Studies, University of Ljubljana, “Tarrying with the Negative,” p1-2) Baudrillard A.

Industrial activity has contributed to biodiversity loss, global warming, and the human population explosion.Caldwell, 03 (Joseph, “The End of the World and the new World Order,” May 8) 3) None of their alternative causalities matter—only a global nuclear war can halt the ongoing industrial activity that makes biosphere collapse and total planetary extinction inevitable.Caldwell, 03 (Joseph, “The End of the World and the new World Order,” May 8) 4) If the risk of nuclear war is not zero—it is an eventual certaintyBoulding, 91 (Kenneth, After the Cold War: Questioning the Morality of Nuclear Deterrence, p104) Milton BL – Affirmative – WaterWater Affirmative- 1AC Text: The United States federal government should increase access to improved water sources in “at need” topically designated areas.
