Realistically, society can make a comeback from pretty much any conceivable catastrophy. Similarly to the situation in communist countries, where important things were scarce and money was worthless, surviving would depend on cooperation and mutual trust, not on defending your bunker and playing out a Mad Max movie.
While self-defense has its place I wonder which attitude would prevail.

- gallerdude 10y agoI mean, with AI we end up with utopia for everyone forever OR a mass extinction event. Seeing I'm going to die anyways, I'll take those odds.
- jdc0589 10y agounless there replicators are involved. then we are screwed, no chance of utopia. sci-fi has taught us this.
- m3rc 10y agoThis sort of "prepper-ism" is just masturbatory self indulgence, it's adults playing with toys while getting to play out fantasies in their head every night before bed.
- forgetsusername 10y ago>society can make a comeback from pretty much any conceivable catastrophy I agree. Where disaster preparation matters is in that period between "catastrophe" and "recovery". How long before things are normal again? Is that period a week? A month? A year? How bad will it get in between? That's what you need to survive.
- UweSchmidt 10y ago"Things get normal again" only if people come out of their bunkers and put away the gun and pick up a shovel and a hammer instead. Build huts, clear the debris and plant seeds, not take the remaining fuel for the helicopter. If this concept is not clear anymore after too many seasons of Walking Dead then I don't know.
