Oi. There is quite a big of ignorance in some of the arguments he made.
Easy to make conventional weapons do what nukes do? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Just a few of the smaller nukes around today have more firepower than every conventional munition ever detonated in the history of the world. This is orders of magnitude. You can't just make conventional weapons stronger.
And on and on with the others as well.
I am sure many others here like the two prior posters can cover most of it with the flaws inherent in his argument.
Technologies die when they die because they become obsolete not because we make a list of things we think we don't need anymore.
And some of them are obsolete now... and eventually they will die. But you can't force it to happen.
