    They weren’t necessarily egalitarian, but they all involved a sense of duty to the community the ability to reinvent the structure of the community, and the freedom to leave. They were also smaller than this. But yeah this is a bunch of people who don’t understand how to function in a community like this.

    Also I’m not certain why these people are already living in the bunkers

      Yep, though we know of bands of hundreds of people who persisted for a long time and at least a few examples of proto-cities with thousands and a much less pronounced division of labor (or at much less pronounced evidence of the trappings that tend to go along with things like kings and a class system). The prevailing assumption right now is that they must have been working more “together” than not.

      They are so disconnected from reality they think the world has already ended. Evidence of this would be the minor pushback to things like AI they are starting to experience.

      A bunch of them went and hid in their bunkers when 9/11 happened. Obviously a pretty bad thing to happen but hardly the end of the world. Sadly they came out about 2 days later because they got bored.
