Ah, the illusion that one can separate oneself from you human society and survive indefinitely. We had the biosphere, we had the sovjet cold war era bunkers, and under tests- the results where always the same. Insufficiently prepared, longterm psychological effects not calculated in - the buried alive envying the dead on the surface.

- wmf 10y agoOr maybe they're planning to stay in the bunkers only until 90% of the population has died off (I hear amazing things can happen in 100 days) and then they'll return to the surface.
- bostand 10y agoamazing?
- wmf 10y agoAmazingly bad.
- Pica_soO 10y agoTraditionally, oligarchs do not bunker in- they send future rebels and unrests into futile wars- where they have to bunker in, fighting the poor and downtrodden of the other side. So everyone is in a bunker, but the richest.. strange they do build these. What a irony, that nukes would take those "pressure" release valves of the 20 Century away.
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoSome of us do quite well on our own thank you. Human society is over-rated.

- JoeAltmaier 10y agoIt would be a blessing to be free of this addicting sensory-overloading electronic monkey.
- kolinko 10y agoDon't feed the troll, everyone.
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoSeriously, I grew up on a farm. I spent many days alone with my own thoughts. That's inconceivable today. But in the event of a societal meltdown there will be a demographic of survivors that won't mind the quiet. They will be over 50.
- headShrinker 10y agoThe food and water lines will spread cross the country like wild fire. The rich and prepared can have their bunkiers but unless they have military training and a militia with tight communication there's little to stop what is inevitable. Someone like me, hungry and with no empathy, a 12 gauge will show up and take what ever you have. There will be no salvation. No one will be safe. people like you think you are more prepared. You were just preparing for someone else younger and stronger to take your shit.
- Fractales 10y agoI'm certain these bunkers take into account people trying to break into them... What exactly are we talking about here?
- RichardHeart 10y agoCommunicating with other survivors should solve that. If it doesn't solve that, then space exploration and Mars settlement are also destined to fail. I think that some portion of the population can be fine without human contact, hermits are a thing.
