The idea that you need to hoard everything so that you can live the rest of your life with nothing from the outside world? Ridiculous.
This isnt about fear

Its about dealing with reality of the world that we live in.

People survive because them plan for sub optimal situations

Its why most of us CHOOSE to wear seatbelts, helmets and keep a fire extinguisher near a fireplace/wood stove/kitchen

Individuals that make "Good Choices" survive/thrive.....those that dont remove themselves from the gene pool
That last point is so false. Idiots thrive. Look at D.C., Wall Street or just your neighbors. Folks make almost amusingly poor decisions and live long, happy, oblivious lives. Seemingly more often than not, the planners die from stupid, unavoidable incidents.

Telling yourself that you can Darwin your way through this life might keep you busy, but it's so far from reality that you might as well just plan on aliens coming to save you.
