Build an underground bunker on an active volcano. I see no possible problem with this plan.
They are not living in reality anymore. There is something within these Techbros that denies consensus reality and substitutes some kind of simulation of their own.
That's the reason this guy can build a bunker on an island close to the water on a volcano.
There is also some interesting symbolism in there.
They feel the need to hide from the people, because they know they would face the fate of Johan de Witt if the people ever found out what they did to them.
There's something that happens to your brain when you get lots of money it seems.
Sam Bankman-Fried the disgraced crypto entrepreneur was an effective altruist with a few of his coworkers and their goal was helping people. I was reading up on them and it was initially about feeding people and earning money to give to others. When they started getting more and more money they were like: "what if there's a zombie outbreak?" Obviously, we're really smart and society needs people like us to survive so we should be spending money on private islands and having our own country to make sure we can keep humanity going or some shit. It was weird.
Despite what anything thinks about Bill Burr now ... I think he had a really good point about these "end of the world" catastrophes -- I simply don't want to be alive for any of them. I don't wanna be scrounging around the remnants of humanity with a dying ecosystem and dwindling human race.
I agree with Burr's sentiment. I've seriously started thinking about selling my stuff and maybe go a few places to see ppl I care about once more and just exiting when I'm totally broke. Fuck it.
Nu uh uh you can't get out of it that easy. You have to suffer like the rest of us.
There are no active volcanos on Kauai; they are only active above the hot spot which Kauai has been moving away from for about 5 million years.
Hot spots are by nature in constant flux. Kauai isn't nearly far enough from the main plume to say for absolute certainty that a flare in the mantle couldn't cause the dormant volcano there to reactivate. At the very least there are seismic events to consider. There was a 6.0 quake about a week ago just outside of Kona. That is plenty to potentially cause a landslide of cave-in on Kauai. These could also cause tsunamis which could cause all sorts of issues for a bunker.
The Hawaiian Islands are an archipelago, the furthest being Kure Atoll which is about 30 million years old. The hot spot that has created this archipelago is activating volcanos on the Big Island, as well as the Kamaʻehuakanaloa Seamount.
The reason the volcanos on Kauai are extinct is the direction the Pacific tectonic plate is moving.
I made no arguments against any other type of events affecting his future crypt, only that Kauai is not an island with an active volcano.
The volcano on Kauai is classed as extinct, which means it has not erupted in the last 10,000 years. You are right there. My point is that there are plenty of documented cases of extinct volcanoes reactivating. Hayli Gubbi in Ethiopia and Fourpeaked in Alaska are both examples.
High time to check in again, then
It's the perfect place for petting their white cat and berating their henchmen while waiting for James Bond to storm the place.
