However back then that was an evolutionary step. In a post-apocalyptic setting where everything will become ruined from pandemonium we are almost starting from the beginning again. As Needles pointed out, if those closest to you died during this global tragedy I doubt you would give a damn about restarting civilization. Sure, it is a nice romanticized fantasy to believe that humanity can rise into a group and re-build and re-populate but the most likely scenario is you will constantly live in fear of others since everybody will look out for themselves. Why trade when I can just take a gun, blow your brains out, and then take every supply from you? How will you ever find me? There is no law, no rules, it is chaos. Then there are people that think they can lead. That's great, and I'm proud of you, but I doubt such a presence would make people want to. Maybe people don't think you're fit for leadership, maybe they start politics about you hoarding, maybe they decide to slash your throat in the night and claim alpha. If such a thing were to happen, I'd worry more about my aim than about fucking and farming. Just saying.

Something else to keep in mind about that population 3 years out, Panda. It will be young. While some may want to go all, Lord of the Flies, on us, others are going to want to learn everything they can. Here's another question then. As a survivor, do you feel any obligation to the rest of the survivors elsewhere? At least in terms of being willing to share what you know?

The next generation wouldn't have to re-invent the wheel. I can't help but think that it would only be helpful to what's left of the human race to be as knowledgable as possible.

Yet another reason why the preservation of books is imperative.

At least in terms of being willing to share what you know? If that question was not just to Panda It wasn't, Hlen. Directed to all. If someone living in a good enclave or hermitage has a lifetime of experience, do they have an obligation to not let it die with them? We may be surviving far apart, but we'll still have easy access to radio communications, for anyone smart enough to hook a cb to a car battery.

I've heard human beings are the only species who can learn things without having to experience them (by learning from others). If that's the case, than leaving wisdom to the next generation elevates all of humankind. That can only be good, from an evolutionary standpoint.

Well there you go! If you ever need a hired mercenary you know who to go to. I accept slave-girls and shampoo as payment.

They're soft! You need a man with some killer instinct!

Have you not met MP?

And you'll probably be bragging about it on the radio, still desperate for any sort of attention from the rest of your kind, pleading to be noticed. Our formal system of laws may go away, but the ideas of right and wrong, and ethical human behavior won't.

NocturnalStalker -> RE: It's the End of the World as We Know It... (3/27/2011 9:33:29 PM)
That's great, you can tell me about your ethics when you bleed to death and I take your goods. Bwahahaha!

LadyPact -> RE: It's the End of the World as We Know It... (3/27/2011 9:35:14 PM)
Deal.

Let's just not pass each other when I'm looking for you.

NocturnalStalker -> RE: It's the End of the World as We Know It... (3/27/2011 9:45:00 PM)
So, give me a good group name for when I eventually take over California.
