In episode two of Hacking the Apocalypse, Claire Reilly looks at the risk of an all-out nuclear war and tours a Cold-War era missile silo that's now a luxury...
If there's ever a horrific pandemic that kills - for example - 2/3rds of humanity - I want to be killed in an early riot. I get smashed on the head and it's quickly over for me. My desire for a quick (ideally painless death) goes for WW III too. I'd like to be at ground zero. I'm alive. And then I'm not.
I think a lot of people (in particular Americans) - really can't imagine a hell on earth. They think of themselves like some badass lead characters in The Walking Dead. Living is tough but life finds a way. In reality - they are like nearly everybody else. We are creatures of the modern world. We're lucky we don't have to hunt squirrels and rabbits so we don't starve to death. We don't have to scramble and fight off the elements so we don't die of exposure. We don't have to dink fetid water that might make us sick or kill us because we have no choice and we are dying from dehydration.
And - of course - we don't live in a miasmatic, dark (the genny's not working right) hole in the ground and because we need to conserve electricity we are eating canned food right out of the can. Can after can after can.
i'll probably be out like a candle in the wind #RIPMarilyn, but my mission would be to make it to the early riot days where scores are being settled. wanna make sure former scumbag bosses and landlords get got.

My POV needs a rethink. I need to help settle score first. And then be hopeful for a quick end.
