I’m curious (do we have any structural engineers who can comment?) Do these earthquake proof buildings that are built nowadays truly able to handle massive earthquakes or is it all part of the “people being scammed” nonsenese?

I assume that there are building techniques that can make a difference but if the earth decides it’s time for for some intense cartography changes to the new world order, then no amount of earthquake proofing is going to save buildings in a truly massive earthquake.
