If it is a beta world line, it "converges" to a future in which World War III occurs, and if it is an alpha world war, it "converges" to a dystopia.
The future of World War III is prevented when Rintaro Okabe reaches the Steins;Gate world line, where there is no such "convergence" at all.
Aside from that.

Now, in the real world, we are on the verge of a serious World War III.
So far, humanity has fought two world wars.
And if we start another war for the third time because of the "egos of the great powers," we human beings will inevitably be slandered as 'idiots'.
World War III should be told in the context of a "struggle through time and space" that transcends even space wars.
I have no reason to forgive "those people" who are currently creating the same scenery on earth as the opening of Steins;Gate Zero.

By the way, there is no such thing as "research is not ruined just because a paper is burned".
If you are a researcher, you can rewrite your paper (OR patent specification) 11 times even if it is burned 10 times.
Dr. Nakabachi could not understand or even plagiarize the contents of his daughter's (Kurisu Makise's) paper.

Anyway, don't "select" Steins;Gate from NetFlix after midnight.
# It is not Steins;Gate's selection.
Quite a dystopia -- all-night weekday screenings -- awaits.
