I searched up "poop" and discovered a blog of a doomsday prepper.

I have always been repelled by doomsday prepper culture, the presumptions of the downfall of humanity. How much hubris can you have to think that the world will end in your lifetime.

Interestingly, the post simply recanted the general strategy of a prepper, and was well-written and seemingly sweet. For whatever reason, I imagined a doomsday prepper to be rather antagonistic.

The writer opines on the nature of prepping, saying that most preppers are not mentally stable. They also say that there is no middleground of preparedness, either the overprepard (preppers) and the underprepared (everyone else).

"I don't really self identify as a "prepper" because that term for whatever reason has ended up tied to an extremist, somewhat delusional instantiation of the whole concept. This gives the term a pejorative sense, which I think is a shame. Yeah, it's true that a lot of preppers have a tenuous grip on reality

and are arguably "over-prepared". But it's just as true that most "normal

people" are rather "under-prepared". I wish there was a nice, inoffensive term

for people trying to walk the middle path between these two extremes."
