But I post that mostly for fun, the reality is, I do not believe that. Selco confirms my hunch:
Who will go first?
Not necessary the weakest one in terms of strength, expect to see first casualties among the people who are most dependent on society and have very bad ability to adapt.
So while 70 years man surely looks like guy who is gonna die among first one when you compare it to the young athletic looking teacher (or whatever) in reality that old guy might be able to adapt faster, because he comes from poor background and grew up in sort of the same survival scenario. That athletic looking dude is maybe lost because his strong faith in society and good human nature.
The reality is, I am probably personally much more durable than most. I have been in hell before, in my 12 step acting-out phase. While I am no longer in that phase, the lessons of what it is to do without NEARLY EVERYTHING have stayed with me. I found out I was mentally and spiritually durable. I can make it through almost anything. I can live without AC and computers and phones. I can live in the woods without a tent and only one sheet draped over me to try, unsuccessfully, to keep skeeters off. I have gone without food and had to carry on anyways.
I will probably be one of the ones that make it, provided I don't get a bit of bad luck somehow.
