Extreme emegency preparededness is insane, but buying a yacht is not? I don't think there is anything wrong with someones hobby being building and stocking their secret fort in the back yard.
- bane 12y agoActually people who compulsively buy things can have an identifiable mental illness. Why would people who compulsively believe the world is about to end then spend all their money on emergency shelters, food and guns not?
- mlonkibjuyhv 12y agoModern western civilisation is grounded on compulsive consumption. I can agree it's insane, but I don't think we're all mentally ill.

- andreasvc 12y agoI think that most people who buy a yacht then proceed to enjoy using it. Preparing for the end of the world is different because it is based on an arguably incorrect judgment call, and the investment will typically not pay off.
