Doomsday Preppers...
I was channel surfing yesterday and came across a show about people who take extreme measures to prepare for doomsday. The family on the episode had a garage filled with food and items to sustain themselves for months. The husband bought a large military surplus truck designed to travel on rough terrain. They went on a field trip where the man reveals a cavern with a steel door where they planned to live. They descended down by ladder and had plans to stay there in the event of some Apocalypse/world-ending catastrophe.I see there was a landing with stairs down to the entrance. Hope he doesn't encounter 5 days of rain or the entrance will flood and they could be swimming inside that cavern!
Anyway, I went to YouTube to see if I could find that episode and to my surprise all kinds of 'prepper' videos showed up. Survival bunkers, living off the grid instructions, combat training, weapons needed, emergency food and medicine stockpile, protective gear, batteries, gas & generators, solar power, bicycle generators.
Some of the statistics say only 1% of the population will survive an Apocalypse.
When I hear the word prepper, I usually think of pepper... as in Dr. Pepper.
"Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too?"

It's over.
You underestimate the collective power of the greatest minds working together to create solutions.
Self-Reinforcing Feedback Loops (which Humans are Powerless to control even IF We Try - which we're NOT) Have kicked in.
Claiming our species can Somehow come together in a grand collective effort & Save Industrial Civilization is "Bargaining" - the 3rd stage in the Dying Process.
Like, "if I quit drinking & attend AA Meetings, the Cirrhosis will Go Away."
it's Quaint - And Appealing - But the children really Can't Wish Tinkerbell back to life.
