Welcome to Within Reason.

My name is Alex O'Connor.

Carl Robesho is the co-leader of Longview Philanthropies

program on nuclear weapons and existential risk.

For over a decade, he led grant making in nuclear security at the Carnegie Corporation of New York,

a philanthropic fund which grants over $30 million annually to strengthen international peace and security.

He previously worked with the Century Foundation and the Global Security Institute,

where his research spanned arms control, international security policy, and non-proliferation.

We speak about the likelihood of nuclear conflict in the modern age, especially in light of the war between Russia and Ukraine.

We also talk about the few times that humanity has come dangerously close to nuclear catastrophe, why that happened, and what measures are currently in place to prevent the future onset of nuclear war.

And this episode of Within Reason is brought to you by Bart Ehrman.com forward slash Alex.

Bart Ehrman is one of the world's most famous New Testament scholars.

I recently had him on my podcast and it was one of my favorite episodes to date.

Dr. Ehrman offers a wide variety of courses from an agnostic perspective in the

New Testament with courses including did the resurrection of Jesus really happen? Did Jesus

think he was God and unknown Gospels, which is a scholarly look at the Gospels, who wrote them? How can we know? When were they written? Are they accurate?

So if you're interested in learning about New Testament scholarship from an agnostic

perspective from one of the world's leading experts, then going to Bart Erman.com forward slash

Alex or let them know that I've sent you and help out the channel if you do decide to purchase

any of their courses.

With that said I hope you enjoy the following conversation with Carl Robeshow.

Carl Robeshow, thanks for being here.
