I don't know that the question is absurd but the actual pursuit of such an idealistic endeavor is a colossal waste of time. It simply isn't something that is ever going to happen. Along with eliminating nuclear weapons we'd have to eliminate a vast amount of crazy people who don't follow rules. Or rather we'd have to first figure out how to change basic human nature. In a world where nuclear weapons have not only been thought of, they've been mass produced and even used you can't simply wrangle that genie and stick it back in the bottle when human nature is always going to lead some ne'er-do-well somewhere to break the rules.
