    You know there is a theory that a volcanic eruption reduced the human population down to 1-3,000 individuals?

    Yet here we are.

      This isn’t the comfort you think it is. If the bombs light up my horizon, I won’t be thinking “well, at least some remote tribe might continue a stone age humanity” while my entire family is consumed in a nuclear fire.

        Okay? I’m not offering comfort. It is simply true. We all die one day and worrying about the end of our society isn’t new.

        My point is there will be cataclysm. That’s it.

        Y’all are so argumentative and sensitive

      Believe it or not, my criteria for prosperity is more than “literally somebody survives to propogate my species.”
