People will always need pogs.

Ok /sci/, I'll play along. Tools are only good if you have them. Any survivalist worth his salt will know how to improvise and make his tools.

Okay, make some tools, you may find materials around you. But good luck hunting animals with your handmade weapons in a city or town.

Moving to a mountain area at the first sign of economical collapse is highly advisable.

[citations please]
>economic collapse, worldwide extreme poverty
shit happens, bro

Hydroponics for sure. On a giant floating sailboat

>Put a few micro satellites into orbit.

Because putting micro satellites into orbit is a task anyone could manage from his little forest bunker...

Also, don't forget to learn how to make basic food like bread. It's more complex than you would think, given you have no flour left and have to start from scratch. Your food stock won't last forever.

I vote Republican so that we can build more aircraft carriers

I wish i had money to prepare myself.

Just move to the country that accepts science the most and rejects black colored homo sapiens. You'll be fine.

Japan...?

haaaa

i stock up on vegetable seeds. a few fruit tree seeds but mainly i have pounds and pounds of seeds.

>seeds take months or years to produce anything
>starve

yeah, nice plan there, buddy

>>2957412
>>collect seeds for apocalypse
>>suddenly apocalypse

I read this as collecting fast-growing seeds that sprout into a series of apocalypses

was much more interesting

>>2957424
>Apocalypse seeds

fuck yeah

I'll build an anti-matter collision engine for space travel and live on the moon.

> Economies all around the globe will fail
Agree.
> and an "apocalypse" of extreme poverty is imminent, claiming hundreds of millions of lives.
Disagree

The society will raise within few years of depression. It isn't money that make this world go around, it's people. People don't seize to exist, money does.

>>2957011
very smart, after the apocalypse we will need a new universal currency

>>2957485
Insanity is in part defined as doing something you've already done expecting a different result.

Read some John Searle, economies are made up anyways. If they crash nothing of value will be lost.

yeah makes total sense, the great depression never really happened like grapes of wrath and shit, and if it happens in this day and age it will be all cool, no real biggie.

>>2957776
If people were to have ignored the stock market and acted like nothing happened there would have been no depression.

>>2957787
yeah, you're totally right, people today are way more independent thinkers, they never believe what the media tells without thorough independent analysis.

Perfect plan to survive all apocalypses:
I would get a master in genetic engineering.
Then design a zombie-virus. Meanwhile find a cure for the zombie virus. destroy cure after making yourself resistant to the virus. Let the zombie-virus spread. That way you ensure you survive the zombie-apocalypse. second apocalypse is then not possible anymore, because if only 1 person dies, its not called an apocalypse.

Batshit pants-on-head retarded.

>>2957787
You fucking idiot. There's always a basis for economic downturns besides lowered confidence. If there weren't an actual major problem, it wouldn't take so long to recover from one. Stock market crashes aren't the causes, they're symptomatic of a deeper problem.

>>2957748
Another full retard. The only people who take Searle seriously are other philosophers, not to mention I'm pretty sure you're presenting a gross distortion of his actual opinion.

What's with all these lone survivors? You're not going to survive on your own, this is stupid. From the cold logical scientific standpoint the best tools are other people which means you are more likely to survive and prosper as a manipulative sociopath than a lone wolf. The real world is not like the movies where the authoritarians are always mentally sick in some way and lose due to a fatal flaw, they are usually intelligent, pragmatic and don't fuck around, maybe I'm not a super genius but I certainly don't intend to be one of the millions of starving refugees. You don't have to be a narcissist to not want to suffer.

I will form a militant extremist populist group, ideology doesn't matter but it would most likely be quite reactionary and militaristic in nature due to the socio-economic conditions, the basics objective is to specialize in disciplining armed thugs and controlling them effectively and to join the general staff of a competent warlord, I don't need the top job, I just need to be part of his executive personnel, there is no need for a petty power struggle unless the figurehead of the oligarchy is seriously jeopardizing a fight against another warlord or something. Obviously this would require quite a lot of psychological conditioning and experience on my part since I'm a sheltered middle class but I have the advantage of being able to choose which ideology or religion or whatever I attach myself to and plan my rise to power from the standpoint of an objective machiavellian tactician as opposed to just some zealot who wins favor from a higher-up due to his loyalty.

>>2956980
You're an idiot.

>>2956980
Batteries. Batteries everywhere.

>>2958009
this, so much this

just get some guns and ammo, all you'll ever need

>>2958009
Can I join?
I would like to rape and pillage as well.
