| Open Question: Does anyone else believe that Doomsday Preppers are ultimately selfish? |
Tonight I was watching Doomsday Preppers. It was first time viewing this show so maybe what I saw was not the norm, but I got the distinct feeling that these people only wanted to help themselves. In the episode there were two men in the same community independent of each other who were pioneering aquaponics gardening. One of the men was doing this because he thinks that in the near future there will be a backlash against genetically modified foods hence a chronic shortage of food. So what he's done is created a closed loop garden where he raises carp as food, the carp produce waste which is then used as fertilizer for the plants and the water is then filtered with various kinds of edible water plants. He stated that he's spent $20,000 so far on this project.Here's my problem: if this man is so sure that there will be a food shortage then why doesn't he devote his energy to ensuring that this shortage doesn't happen? He has a working model of of a system that could potentially usurp factory farms and he just squirrels it away in a shed. Why doesn't he take some the energy and money he's devoted to paranoia and adapt this working model into a larger scale that can be used to feed mankind while not screwing up our environment in the process.
