I would definitely die in an apocalypse. I'm okay with that.
You raise a good point, though. Why the never ending popularity of end of world and zombie apocalypse stories, in which, typically, a handful of people are alive, and heroic.

I think we would have.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure end-of-the-world stories are in our DNA.

This reminds me of when people romanticize societies of the past assuming they'd be a king or duke and not one of the vastly more numerous peasants.
Great connection! You're totally right.
Look on the bright side... it all goes to compost in the end!
Yeah! Bright...
This is great! And thanks for the audio, it's so good to listen to podcasts as you drive!
Agreed! I get most of my podcast listening in during my morning jog.
