RE: The main danger threatening world war is that urban humans are becoming idiots.
Conventional as in not nuclear, but I doubt there's anything conventional about the sort of weapons that are available for deployment these days.
IMO, the root problem is moral (selfishness). The most dangerous consequence of this is the loss of community, which results in powerlessness for almost everyone. The "masses" become sheep and the elite become wolves.
Other than nuclear war, my main fear is that this trend will become irreversible. It would already be irreversible but for the laws and institutions that the living inherited from those who lived before us. But if these institutions and laws are not defended, they will be corrupted and eventually overtly dispensed with.
