    Hilarious and sad considering those techbros are creating the conditions for a possible economic collapse, such as playing with creepto.

    Oh yes, kinda reminds me of reading a chapter in World War Z (the book with its dark comedy is still more entertaining than the humorless movie), like how one character found himself on an island full of rich people… Guess what happened next?

        A parallel, similar would be ghandis govt in the 70s, was murdered by their own bodyguards because the pm was targeting sikh people for persecution.

      I think there’s a kind of sunk cost fallacy at work with preppers. Many of them start with the notion that it’s good to be prepared, just in case. However, being prepared for this sort of thing isn’t a casual exercise. It’s a whole hobby.

      What if the collapse doesn’t come? All that time and effort would be wasted. Better do something to make it collapse.
