Apocalypse

If there were actually an apocalypse, I always wonder who would come out the other side. Would the gamers and the nerds come out loaded with survival techniques and movie knowledge on how to survive? Or would they simply behave like the rest of us, following the governments guidelines and behaving like the majority? I think a lot of us would like to believe we would be able to survive an apocalypse, after watching the movies and playing the games. But would we be lacking the cardio, or simply the guts? Maybe it would be the gangs, the ones known to violence and have weapons readily available. When money becomes worthless, do the lower rise to the top? Would the politicians be desperately trying to fly a spaceship to mars whilst the underclass stick in for survival? Perhaps the world would retain democracy, with some sort of underground civilisation created where the dead live on top. You can see why so many are fascinated by the idea, although unlikely to happen and perhaps scientifically impossible, the concept of a world where basic survival techniques become crucial is an exciting idea in which you picture yourself fighting off the dead like an awesome action hero. Because the zombies aren't hard to kill, and have next to no skill, it becomes easier for the everyday person to survive with the right tactics, guts and equipment. Would science become essential, with the need to find a cure? Or would it simply be a matter of surviving, and killing? The human reaction to extreme events has always been an interesting one as history has shown, and I think an apocalypse would just be another in which we see some magnificent human courage, aside some terrible injustices.
