as they count themselves among those who would survive that level of disaster.
I wonder what gives them such confidence that they would survive. I mean bombs can kill rich just as well as the poor...
And there are those who believe that the problem with the world is overpopulation is the problem anyway
I used to think this. But was never so extreme in my views that I would wish for war or other disasters. I just thought that having 2 kids should be enough for most people for a few decades. Now I somehow changed my mind and believe that human stupidity and greed are bigger problems than overpopulation.
Money. Many think they can buy safety, but it only works to a point.
I think if resources were spent on making the world better, rather than servicing greed, the population amount would be fine.
