These scenarios are identical in my opinion. They’ll likely dwindle and die in a short time anyway. The wealthy are not particularly well suited to rebuilding society
No they won’t lol
As for “rebuilding society”, they’d eventually get there after some generations. Nothing humans built or invented was particularly difficult to do, it was inequality/lack of resources/lack of necessity holding people back at every step
If they survive multiple generations, then they survive. I give that a less than 50% chance (“unlikely”). Selecting for the wealthiest 1% is selecting for 1) elderly 2) psychopathic 3) men. Only 10% of the population of the richest 1% is female, and I would assume they are also older than the average person. I’m putting a lot of weight on the psychology of the wealthy and the state that we’ve “collectively” (it was them) put this planet into.
obviously they’d bring their kids along
they’ll figure something out, or their kids will kill each other down the line and make a new line of humans
I see your argument a lot from liberals, no offense, and it’s just big cope–the insanely rich are the best equipped to survive cataclysm, and will definitely have advance knowledge of it before it happens (at least past a certain threshold of importance)
Like if you just gave me a goat and a few potatoes I’d survive an apocalypse provided the temps and rainfall weren’t too fucked, and also provided there was noone else around me. That’s why they’re buying up New Zealand, or all this rural land in the middle of nowhere. They will survive.
