What about the disaster of overestimating danger?

The world view painted in this video is really insane. While he talks about the mathematical certainty of disaster, he provides no compelling case.

This video is the equivalent of yelling fire in a crowded theater.

Uhhh, No! At the very least, it's noticing where the exits are now that we've enter the crowded theater.

Do the prudent thing and put some water, food, ammo, cash and maybe "real" money aside just in-case and maybe sit next to an exit since it's kinda smoky in here. Where's the danger in that? At least you wouldn't be an immediate burden to others if the SHTF.

Yes, but when smoke is being smelled, and issuing from under closed doors, and people near the doors are feeling some heat.

To not apprehend danger when there is danger is a form of suicide. "Bias of normalcy" can kill.
