Mark Zuckerberg Spent $187 Million Secretly Buying 1,600 Acres of Hawaii Land, And Now He Is Reportedly Building A Massive Self-Sustaining Apocalypse Bunker

Arguably could be beneficial if they build it in volcano tubes.

Could build a small geothermal powerplant and have a renewable energy source not dependent on the weather though

He is a Judo master. Watch yourself mauraders and cannibals.

Reptiles can reduce their metabolism

This is mostly it. One reason New Zealand was high on our list for consideration.

If anyone thinks missile defenses are good enough to stop ICBM swarms theyre delusional.

At best theyre meant to reduce loss so the US "wins" the exchange, even if that means only 60% of the pop dies vs 85%.

Waking up the volcano god

It's on Kauai which is full of military bases.

Kauai has lots of military bases. Maybe depending on wind patterns he wouldn't get much fallout on his part of the island but it doesn't seem like a particularly safe choice.

As long as he's not on Oahu he'd be fine, and even if he were the 5 megaton blast in this simulation is on the high end of what could be expected (modern nukes don't need to have yields that high thanks to missile accuracy improvements, so for example most western-made modern nukes are in the 100-500 kiloton range ie less than 1/10th as large)

in the event of Jap attack 2.0.

The japs would be busy with china and korea.

If China hits us with 10,000 warheads (roughly what we had pointed at us in the late cold war) they can spare one for Kauai.

It's so cute when rich people think that their money will mean anything without a strong government in existence to enforce contracts

Government contracts and connections to tell them what? That there's instability in the world? You think these connections have a countdown timer to "the collapse" that they share with their closest friends?

Edit: From the NPR article:

I had a fascinating conversation with Stewart Brand for this story about survivalism in Silicon Valley. And I called him up and I said, what do you make of this? He's been in that community for 40 years. And I said, what do you make of this? And he said, you know, I dabbled in survivalism, he said, in the '70s.

He tried it for a little while. But he decided it was kind of strange, the idea that walking around believing that the world was about to end. And what he said is that over the years, he's become much more impressed by examples of resilience rather than examples of frailty. For example, in the last 10 years, the United States has weathered a recession, the largest recession since the Great Depression. It now has unemployment at low, manageable levels. There was an Ebola crisis, which was predicted to be much worse in the end than it ultimately was.

It was certainly costly, but it was nowhere near what it could have been. And that was because people took it upon themselves to do something about it. And then another example would be Japan that suffered this tsunami and a cascade of nuclear meltdowns. And from that, yet, it has soldiered on. And so what Stewart Brand said is that the hardest problem that we face today is not the idea that the world is about to end, this idea which we circulate among ourselves, let's say, online in these communities.

But it actually is the much more mundane but more likely scenario, which is that we chug on, that we continue and we are faced with these practical problems, social problems about how do we help the neediest members of our society and how do we make sure that people are taken care of who need it?
