Date: January 17th, 2018 6:57 PM Author: Very tactful beady-eyed coldplay fan school cafeteria I think some kind of widespread societal collapse is probably inevitable. If it doesn't get that bad, there is definitely dangers in places like Southern California of a post natural disaster, terrorist attack, or nuclear attack chaotic situation. The overall chances of this happening are low, but real. Lots of people in Silicon Valley agree with this thinking. How are you prepared in event of an emergency? What is the proper level of preparedness before you start getting too kooky?

Date: January 17th, 2018 7:08 PM Author: Motley Corner one of the things that most "preppers" get wrong is that society would descend immediately into anarchy if there is a "doomsday" event. there is a lot of scholarship modelling human behavior in the event of catastrophe, and the cooperation instinct is immediately quite strong (https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/03/nuclear-bomb-manhattan-simulation/519585/). that doesn't mean that as weeks and months wear on and supplies start to run low that people wouldn't turn on each other but in the short term to medium term I think it would be easy enough to hitch a ride in return for cash or other supplies.

|
Date: January 17th, 2018 7:12 PM Author: Motley Corner I don't understand what you're asking. if I was killed in the blast then obviously my problems are over. the scholarship is based on numerous past non-nuke events and the findings are that in the immediate aftermath people pull together. so let's say the power grid died -- I think i'd have at least a couple of weeks to pay people cash or other shit for a ride to where I'm going. people aren't immediately going to start murdering hitchhikers and eating their flesh.

Date: January 17th, 2018 7:13 PM Author: Very tactful beady-eyed coldplay fan school cafeteria Fascinating. Do these models account for large groups of violent blacks being present? They would absolutely be rioting in LA. I do agree, that anarchy is extremely unlikely in the short term. But Cormac McCarthy is 100% right when he talks about a true end-of-world type disaster.
WSJ: For novels such as "Blood Meridian," you did extensive historical research. What kind of research did you do for "The Road"?
CM: I don't know. Just talking to people about what things might look like under various catastrophic situations, but not a lot of research. I have these conversations on the phone with my brother Dennis, and quite often we get around to some sort of hideous end-of-the-world scenario and we always wind up just laughing. Anyone listening to this would say, "Why don't you just go home and get into a warm tub and open a vein." We talked about if there was a small percentage of the human population left, what would they do? They'd probably divide up into little tribes and when everything's gone, the only thing left to eat is each other. We know that's true historically. |

Date: January 17th, 2018 7:19 PM Author: Motley Corner I woudldnt be surprised if the tribe conclusion is correct but I don't need that long to get where I'm going. as long as "society" holds out for a week or so I can get there trading cash/bullets/etc. I have for rides. I think society would easily hold out for a few weeks. if you ever watched that show Jericho the town carries on mostly status quo for a while, which I think is realistic. people aren't going to turn on each other until supplies run out, which would take a while.

Stuff like that doesn't happen right away. But when it gets down to people worrying about their kids starving, the veneer of civilization will disappear quickly.
