For more context: hes comparing nuclear energy disasters like chernobyl to the bombings of japan, saying that because those cities recovered therefore people are wrong about chernobyl still being uninhabitable and that people shouldn’t be so scared of nuclear energy. Hes not saying bombing cities isnt so bad in general, just that its not as bad as how “(((they)))” say it is at chernobyl. Nevemind the fact that even if chernobyl was able to rebound it still would’ve been a major and tragic disaster!

This actually perfectly demonstrates his lack of knowledge and ability to perceive himself unduly as an intelligent person because of his financial success. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were able to rebuild and the nuclear fallout was short-lived because the bombs were detonated miles above the ground to maximize their immediate devastation, while the chernobyl reactor exploded on/in the ground and there is still uncontained radioactive material within the compound because it is basically impossible to clean up.

Also, the comments on that video are depressing.
