I loved this comment, but then realized I may not have understood it—is the apocalyptic scenario one where a bunch of people die, but somehow those remaining tend to be Zoltan supporters?
I actually meant it more generally, in the sense of highly unusual situations. So gjm’s suggested path would count.
But more straightforwardly apocalyptic situations could also work. So a whole bunch of people die, then those remaining become concerned about existential risk—given what just happened—and this leads to people becoming convinced Zoltan would be a good idea. This is more likely than a virus that kills non-Zoltan supporters.
