What I find interesting about this is that people often view the aftermath of potential disasters as situations in which individuals will have to survive on their own. Before Y2K people began stocking up on all kinds of goods and supplies assuming they might have to subsist on their own resources for many months. Having some supplies on hand for emergencies is a good idea, but time and again around the world, when a disaster strikes people pitch in and work together.
Assuming anybody survives an asteroid impact or any of the other doom and gloom predictions, wouldn't we expect that the survivors will work together and through combining their individual talents and skills do what it takes to survive - or die trying?
