Silicon Valley billionaires buy underground bunkers preparing for the apocalypse

If you need a bunker to survive that, then you're better off dead.

That is, unless you want to be the one eating the last cats and rats and witness what's left of a once 'great' civilisation.

Of course it helps to be prepared for unexpected disasters - natural or accidental - be ready to survive for a couple of days maybe weeks - but if we're talking doomsday - all-out nuclear war, meteor strike or something like that, then death is probably the better option.

After all, we really don't know what's next ! If this life is some sort of simulation (which I personally believe it is), then we will see doomsday .. otherwise it wouldn't be interesting .. we enjoy that it seems ..

You could invest the money you spent in your bunker into helping avoid needing a bunker. Elon Musk wants interplanetary redundancy, which to some degree, increases the chance that we die here, for whatever money goes into leaving, could have went into protecting what we have. I'm ok with a chance of being extincted if it increases the chance I don't have to rot and die a slow death like so many of my forefathers. Scr…

How do you propose protecting earth from asteroids, solar storms and other cosmic dangers?

I'm roughly 100 percent to rot as meat in less than a century, so I'm concerned with fixing that one first, so I have time to fix the others. The genie is granting wishes, and I'm requesting more wishes.
