ElM, chimps and humans are notoriously short-sighted and unable to understand low probability, high damage events, such as tsunamis.
I happen to like to think about such things. I note too that a LOT of people, adults, with PhDs, considered it worth spending all their lives building noocular bombs, and politicians considered it worth taking $billions from taxpayers to pay for them, so me spending a week or so digging bunkers seems a proportionate reaction. It's not paranoia to avoid serious threats and imminent danger. That's called being alive. Those living things which ignored danger over eons do not now have their DNA in the gene pool.
<<As a child [about 8 or 10 I guess] I tried digging a bunker,> So your fear of the hordes of barbarians coming to NZ comes from long ago.
If they haven't arrived so far, don;t you believe that they are figments of your imagination, or, more accurately, created by those 2% of your mind? >
I note too that many of the hordes have arrived, complete with machetes and unethical ideas. Americans arrived complete with noocular bombs! Right here in my harbour. French terrorists arrived too, and murdered while bombing the Rainbow Warrior.
Be prepared! Those people are barbarians. They just look human [sort of], though their manic expressions give them away.
