but it’s still the case that I don’t expect to survive a full-scale nuclear exchange.
There’s no reason whatsoever to expect you can’t easily survive a full exchange with a few simple preparations as long as you were outside the immediate urban blast radii. Nuclear winter is effectively a myth. I’m both astounded and dismayed by the amount of misinformation and misconceptions surrounding nuclear issues within the “rationalist” community.
Nukes aren’t remotely inescapable Armageddon in the same way unaligned AGI is, and people really need to stop the silly resignation to death when talking about them. People in this community can easily all survive a nuclear war if they simply understand that they can and do what needs to be done.
With a full scale nuclear war supply chains will collapse. How will you survive starvation? And if you have enough food or food production capacity, how will you be able to protect it from armed gangs?
