Why worry about the inevitable? - GoFuckYourself.com

baddog · 09-06-2007, 11:48 PM

Been watching a lot of volcano shows lately, and after watching this one about the Yellowstone Eruption I have to say it got me thinking.

Why worry about it? Who cares if it happens tonight or in 100,000 years? What are you going to do if you got a one week warning that it was going to blow? Of course, you would never get a week's notice, but let's say you did . . . where are you going to go?

It did make me laugh at one point.

They said when it blows (and it will) FEMA will be in charge. At the time of the filming the biggest calamity they had faced was the WTC in 2001. After seeing N.O. with its little assed wind storm, I think it is safe to say FEMA, or any other agency is not going to do jack.

So I ask, why worry? Why bother preparing? Why predict when? Not jack you can do about it.

Why bother doing anything at all, ever?

They had movie called Supervolcano on there recently, pretty scary.

Well, it would change life as we know it, that is for sure.

On the upside, we would not have to worry about global warming for a few thousand years.

Why wouldn't you plan something for it. What if you survived..then what? I pretty much plan anything based on the assumption that I will be alive, can't really plan anything out if youre so set on dying.

You should learn to love life more, then you wouldn't be saying such lame comments like this.

Okay, so what plans have you made in anticipation of the Yellowstone eruption?

digifan · 09-07-2007, 12:55 PM

True.. now La Nina is what we have to fear but cannot do much.

well, to be honest, I didn't know Yellowstone was about to erupt. I didn't catch that special, but it could be planning for an earthquake or hurricane or whatever. Giving up before it happens is no way to go about life. I don't want to die, so I'm not giving up on it. That's all I'm saying.

Youre acting like Yellowstone erupting is like the Earth falling into the sun. If that was the case, I would agree.

I have an earthquake preparedness kit, and have had one for 25 years. It is good for lasting a week or so. Won't help much for the Yellowstone eruption.

Falling into the sun would be better . . . a quicker death.

But surely you feel that any help is worthwhile? Sure, to fully prepare you'd have to invest $100,000...

What a sad outlook on life. I hope your life gets better dude. I will guarentee that people would survive an eruption in Yellowstone, without even seeing the program. Some people have a stronger will to live than others and it will happen. I probably won't see you there though.

It wouldn't end life on Earth.. Earth has had life a long time and the Yellowstone super volcano has gone off at least 3 times. (every 500k years they say) So life wasn't ended then, nor would it end the next time.

Life would change and the Earth would likely go into a new Ice Age. Humans would likely survive but not many, they would die off along with a lot of other animals. Mainly because of lack of food.

One should remember, there were a lot less people here 640,000 years ago (last time it went off).

The earth will survive just fine . . . it is just life forms that will have to adapt.

After Shock Media · 09-07-2007, 03:11 PM

Considering that the earth has had a few mass extinctions that have wiped out over 90 to 99% of all life forms on this planet each time. Odds would dictate that humans would stand a very slim chance of long term survival of this sort of ordeal, unless and a big unless a large enough group were prepared beyond belief and or off this planet when it happened and during its effects which would last at least a decade or more.

accepting the inevitable (death) is the first step into living life to the fullest

Worrying on the large scale might help accelerate scientific study.

I mean, half the reason that seismology gets the funding it does is for the hope of earthquake warnings in the future.... and making our tidal wave warnings today more accurate. We have scientists combing the sky every night, mapping out asteroids because some politician got a hair up his butt about the big one hitting us at some point in the future. We've prognosticated the pathway of the moon for millions of years into the future just to make sure it'd never ram into us (and, consequently discovered it's moving away from us a few cm a year).

So, whil worrying on the large scale can help - personally, I'd have to agree with you... no sense in the average individual dreading it - if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen.

Carpe Diem.

Ya, I accept that I'm going to die eventually, but no time soon. Giving up on trying to survive is the first step to a meaningless life.
