What will be your reaction plan in an imminent case of total annihilation ?

9297 sats \ 78 comments \ @DarthCoin 5 Apr meta

Let's say we discover that our world, planet in maximum 5 years (or less) will be destroyed totally by something so big that we cannot avoid, prevent or evade it. The planet will be evaporated, became dust.

What will be your first 5 actions you will do?

Please explain in just few words, no need for much details or stories. I just want to see what are people's priorities in such an extreme case. No judgement, no comments, free your mind.

Thanks

Good question.

The only way humanity survives is leaving the solar system, since without Earth, all we have here are dead rocks, gas giants, and shitty little moons.

Everyone everywhere needs to shift focus to one thing: storm your govt buildings, bases etc. and figure out what they know about UFOs and anti-gravity. Without new physics we're trapped here with Elon and his chemical rockets to nowhere.
Spread this info as far and wide as possible and try to anticipate the problems that will arise when trying to move 8 billion people from one planet to another.
We would need groups focused on:
- what planet do we even go to?
- do we need ships or is a portal possible?
- is there a safe zone in our solar system where we can spread to temporarily?
- how do we keep the world running for the next 5 years while we evacuate?
- are you aliens going to fking help us out here or just watch??
Find out what the world govts knew about this, and tell the world how they lied to humanity.
Bring a copy of the timechain.

One additional question: do you think in 5 years we will be capable to fly spaceshipas with lots of people?

One additional question: do you think in 5 years we will be capable to fly spaceships with lots of people?

Not without physics that go beyond Einstein's world of relativity. If we can control gravity, I have no doubt that 5 years is plenty for humans to solve this.

Maybe:

you might not need a ship
we can build a vessel that's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside
the journey to our new planet is only a few minutes round trip with this new tech

Download every important piece of media and software (including Bitcoin Core!), stick it onto extremely durable storage devices, and launch them into space. Who knows, some alien civilization might discover them eons from now.
I'd want everyone possible to be happy in their final years. People who are wrongly imprisoned, people who are lonely, etc. Perhaps I'd donate the remainder of my stack to these causes.
I would probably move myself and my family to some remote wilderness to appreciate nature, which I probably have not done enough of in my life. I'd cut off all distractions, no need for any of that.
Would continue to learn about all the things that interest me, and study stuff that I've always wanted to learn but never had the time for.

Instead of coming up with ideas that focus on "saving" humans à la getting them out of the solar system et cetera, why not simply focus on leaving behind a collective (human) legacy?

What would keep the world together in such a scenario, would be a collective feeling of hope, and not a selective one, I.e: The world works towards the "goal" of getting a very select club of people off this rock, while leaving the rest to their inevitable demise.

What could a collective effort look like?

Well, I'd say we prepare some new and sturdy shuttles containing the building blocks for life, our DNA as well as the DNA of many other species from the animal,- insect,- and botanical kingdom, and try to stuff as much of our knowledge about the world, our science, us humans et cetera into it as well.

And then? Well, we simply hope that either some other intelligent life form finds one of those shuttles and makes use of the information, or we hope that a shuttle crashes unto a habitable planet.

That's it. That's our last-ditch effort. Everything living on this rock will die, but at least there's a chance of continuation.

The world would become crazy, so it would be almost impossible to live among humans, that would be in panic and wouldn't be able to think (even less than now!) so I would:

Collect all the information I can in a laptop, book reader, tablet, etc.
Buy all the food and tools I can.
Buy a 4x4 car or truck-motorhome.
Retire to the most remote place I can find with water and deep caves.
Build a refuge and wait for the end, meditating a lot.

That's it.

If we cannot prevent it means it is already too late. Enjoy the time we have left at maximum. We were going to die anyway. I would try to avoid being angry and I would enjoy the landscape and the sunset one last time thinking there will be some other more intelligent species somewhere in the Universe that could prevent it in time.

Find the means over the course of several days to validate the claims (rather than blindly trusting hysterical herds)
Surround myself online and in meatspace with people more intelligent, in order to be able to adapt to ever-changing circumstances & information asymmetry.
Drop everything to contribute with friends to open-source initiatives or reputable companies with whom I trust. Last thing I’d want is to waste 5 years of PoW on a dud or irrelevant cause.
Consolidate several UTXOs. Just in case.
Take 1 dedicated day a week offline with friends, family & nature. Work on developing new transferable skills & critical projects for 6. 1 week off every 6 months.

Who knows about this?, that answer changes everything.

If everyone knows, then people will freak out in the beginning, then slowly accommodate to the new life, then panic at the end. I would plan to take advantage of this in the short term.

If only I know, then I would take a lot of long term credit (30 years for example) and stop working for an income. This would allow me to travel the world freely, experience new cultures and ways of life, meet a lot of people, exercise often, and learn as much as I can about life.

Writing this reminded me that most people on Earth are basically exchanging most of their time in their whole life, specially their prime years, to get paid an amount of money that barely allows you to live, maybe save a little bit. It's kinda like being a slave with extra steps.

Shift focus from thinking about my unborn family and my future lineage to helping as many people now as possible. No point in worrying about a legacy or heirs or future generations.

Share everything. Give everything away. Help as many people alleviate current suffering as possible.
Be with the people I love and who love me.
