1000 richest people are approched. "The end of the world is here. Time to go to your doomsday bunker", they are told. The billionaires nodded. They knew this was coming. They were prepared.
So they gathered their loved ones and locked themselves in luxury bunkers. No contact to outside world.
10 years later they emerge. The world has healed. The air is breathable, people are happy. "What was the catastrophy?" they ask the first person they meet.
She screams: "THEY GOT OUT!!!"

Wait. The not-so-rich people did not cover the doomsday bunkers with rocks, cement, sand, concrete, reinforced steel barricades, roadblocks, poisons, barbed wires, land mines, leaking radioactive nuclear powerplant waste barrels? Not even motion detectors and automated machine guns and rocket launchers?
I think the planning should have included my input. Muhaha.
@WGAvanDijk @prettyhuman Mars would also be safe, provided the landing craft are one way only.
@martinvermeer @WGAvanDijk @prettyhuman if we posit a world where they can't do the ~same things they're doing now remotely, that seems like a world where enough coordination can be also had to agree to ignore them.
