I was talking to my friend the other day about how a massive EMP strike would ultimately do our society some good if we had to interact with our communities and neighbours again for necessities and entertainment again.
One of the best days I had in college was when the hurricane knocked out power so me and the neighbors had a drunk chess tournament (you lose a piece, you take a sip. End of the game, finish the can. Drink of your choice but one of the neighbors had a cooler of coronas they were sharing so that and water’s what post of us drank. I was smoking sassages for the group. Probably won 2 games?) We all just hung out, playing chess, listening to music, eating sassages, drinking corona, and waiting to see if the hurricane was going to give us bad weather again all half expecting to drunken scramble into one of the ground floor apartments if shit started flying. It did not and we all eventually went home and to bed. Most of us never really hung out before then, and some of them I never saw after.
Absolutely. And I in all likeliness would also die. It would be a great tragedy. Maybe one that would cause humanity to step up. Start cooperating to fix this.
Most of the scenarios I see on the world scale right now involve me dying or living in slow decline to poverty as the world changes. Maybe I’m just being pessimistic but it doesnt feel like it.

Every time I’ve moved I always make an effort to be friends with the neighbours, with varying rates of success.
That’s true, but I suspect you’re going to miss the many people who are going to die as a result.
Absolutely. And I in all likeliness would also die. It would be a great tragedy. Maybe one that would cause humanity to step up. Start cooperating to fix this.
I, too, would die.

I’m not pessimistic, I’m just sick.
