DOOMSDAY IS NIGH !! Now what?

It all goes wrong, terribly wrong, and that's just an understatement.

A world government seizes power, and it's ruled by people who one morning decide that life itself is futile, and it becomes the highest goal on their agenda to drive the entirety of life on earth into extinction. Because that, like, is the kind of people they are.

All over the world nuclear explosion facilities are being built, each capable of delivering a million megaton punch that could drive dinosaurs extinct, and they all will be set off in the same microsecond on 21 December 2012, turning the world into a ball of lava.

A man-made planetary extinction event.
ZOMG! Now what?

Although it would be futile to fight...I put that as my vote. They don't need to build facilities to do this, we already have enough nuclear warheads to completely destroy the planet several times over.

The best way to fight such a thing is to become rich, thats what I'm aiming for, people with money are influential.

Actually that is not true. If all the nukes of the world went off at once it would suck to be an earthling for a couple thousand years or so, but Life itself will survive.

There's life miles below the sea and there are even micro-organisms up to two miles into the ground. They would serve as a backup and re-colonize the earth anew, starting from single-cell organisms.

Besides, all the nukes in the world would cause a lot of prolonged suffering, it's just not enough power to wipe the slate clean at once.

I don't think they'll come into power or be able to descend total doomsday on us, but there are plenty of people who believe life itself is futile and that everyone is better off dead. I read an interesting scenario once that explained how society itself can go insane. Imagine that :crazy:

It's just another extreme poll :rockon: this one raising the question what people think they would do if everything was at stake. There's a lot of apathy in modern society, would we be able to snap ourselves out of it to save the world? An interesting question that could get you thinking in a good way, and might start an interesting thread to boot :smile:

Seems like the best course of action would be to work on these facilities and sabotage them. In addition, organize a resistance movement that does the same to all of them.

Now and since forever, many people already believe/d doomsday is/was nigh.

So how could I be convinced that this time it was really true?

What makes you connect 2012 with nukes?

If I knew it was true then I'd investing a nuclear bunker, a shit load of food and design an air purification and electricity generation system etc

For this poll I needed an actually feasible man-made Doomsday, and colossal hydrogen bombs set off all over the world at once is one way that's completely feasible with existing technology.

That, and Dr Strangelove is a great movie classic which everybody ought to have seen just once :thumbup:

To add a sense of urgency I needed a nearby date, so the nearest convenient date for doomsday would be the Mayan one, said to be "the end of time". I don't connect 2012 with nukes, but it was a playful finishing touch for the poll.

If I knew it was true




It's all hypothetical ofcourse. If it would happen though I'd do anything to try stop it, and if that failed I'd gather with my loved ones close to one of those facilities to be completely annihilated before I'd even know something happened.

Nuclear war? Oh man I'd be all about survival then, but many hydrogen bombs of a million megatons each going off all over the world at once? Hell no I won't try to survive that. Wipe me the fuck out in the first milisecond please, why be a human torch when you can be a 10 KeV plasma cloud?

I had a very ketamized discussion about this last night..

As we were on drugs we decided the only solution is to dose all the willing minds and let them see for themselves.. and then organize an effective political movement based on the 'newly discovered' ideals (cashing in on the mass hysteria, sort of like hitler did). When we gain support through political means (backed with some degree of intimidation ) we would rebuild, from scratch our current welfare systems and laws. The absolute focus would be on education, physical superiority and efficiency. I would sever all connections with america, pull out of iraq and other american operations, and strengthen ties with the EU and asia.

I'd fight and rebuild.. Drop everything to better our civilisation.  :boxing:

The only effective way to achieve any revolution is by political means.. and politics starts with the people :shrug:

The sad thing about this scenario is that even if this plot was exposed, the world would probably shrug it off as a hoax.

Even when not a hoax, I believe Bush could drop a nuke on a random country like Peru and for most people (except, like, in Peru) it would be business as usual within a month.

We as a people are asleep and what would it take to snap us out of it?

I agree with you that if the Doomsday scenario happened and there was no absolute evidence, most people would shrug it off as a hoax or otherwise lose interest.

Honestly i think thats an unfortunate function of our(human) society. The great masses are followers. They may have rich and interest lives on an individualistic scale, but when it goes to the bigger picture, they don't care and won't act.

It takes a great movement or a great event to get people to act on a large scale. Problem is, it also requires the leadership class to act.

The idea of psychedelics and doing "nothing" sounds like an oxymoron to me.
