> There's something upsetting about that combination of traits, don't you think? "Millionaire hackers" should be using their influence and money to try to avert a doomsday scenario if they believe it's likely. Not just prepare to hole up and wait it out. "Nobody" is willing to appoint such "millionaire" hackers as "benevolent dicators" in multiple countries, which would be near to a necessity to enable them to avert this scenario. So the best they can do is dig holes.
