Preppers are just paranoid DIYers.
- eggsnbacon1 6y agolol so true
- ballenf 6y agoCivilization short-selling + DIY.
- drewcoo 6y agopredicting problems + planning prevention = preparedness Preppers seem paranoid because mental health is a normative social function and they're on an edge of the spectrum.
- tantalor 6y ago> normative social function ?
- chordalkeyboard 6y agonot the person you replied to but they probably mean that mental health is defined by a range of acceptable behaviors and they are close to the edge of the range.
- rhacker 6y agoI would have thought that no one would use the word paranoid to describe a prepper after that many deaths, but here we are.
- jopsen 6y agoWould 1% risk of death be enough for you to isolate yourself from society 2-3 years until we have widespread vaccine adoption? Preparing for the end of civilization is perhaps a bit paranoid (I hope), or at least somewhat pointless :) Side note: that said there is probably many reasonable DIY outdoor enthusiasts who gets categorized as preppers.
- rhacker 6y agoUm, absolutely Yes. In fact that's what we have and Yes I have been isolating myself. I'm waiting for case counts to drop to 0 before I go back. There's probably a fair number of people like that.
