I definitely agree... The problem that I have with fulfilling the social contract is the question why are we doing this? Usually fulfilling the social contract follows one or both of the following aims:
Honestly, I have very little interest in furthering the human race... If I survived the apocalypse, I would be WAY more concerned with keeping myself alive... Humankind is not my responsibility. However, if my immediate family survived, I would have obligations to them, but no one else... The way I see it, unless I have a particular bond with any of the survivors (ie familial or very personal bond), then they're not my responsibility. If you gather food... You have to gather food for everyone, not just yourself. Not to mention... Regardless of the nature of the group that you're in, there will have to be a Leader. The Leader in the Leviathan would triumph as being strong and keeping the rest of the group in awe (unless someone struck up against them or there was a mutiny). The Leader in the Social Contract, however, would have to be a Leader based more on mutual respect and/or adoration of the group... That, to me, sounds more like being part of a Cult. I would prefer to be ruled by fear. So, essentially, if I had no family to worry about, I would definitely be a Loner (most likely of amoral leaning) if not on the outskirts of the Leviathan. I definitely agree with Newb and Rod. I'm not sure where I'd hole up... Probably in some sort of solid structure... Very few windows and fairly impenetrable... Maybe a prison. Then again, if the apocalypse was radiation-driven, that doesn't really help.

Talk about coincidence!
Eerie man, eerie. Fuck The Groups Me and my daughters were talking about this as I drove them to school this morning. We decided if the right series of events happened, the world of technology and Roads could collapse in a month. We agreed that food procuring would be no.1 In the beginning, just getting whatever we can get our hands on, then learning to grow and cultivate food. I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't know thing one about growing veggies. Followed by fresh water. 3.)Protection from the elements. 4.)Protection of ourselves and what we have. 5.)Building or obtaining new forms of energy i.e. Solar, Wind, etc. We came to the conclusion that after 10 years we would possibly have a better world, or at the very least healthier because of the fact that we would have no cars to drive our fat asses around and their wouldn't be anymore processed food. And we would be able to just shoot the assholes or the dangerous because of marshal law:D Last edited by novakru; 11-15-2007 at 05:26 AM.

For me it would all be about survival.Taking care of myself and no one else.I might band a samll group together but no big gathering of people.Just a few stragglers that I find along the way.
First you gotta have weapons and shelter. After you have a place secured then you have to find a food source.Whether it be hunting or growing your own food. Fresh water would be next. Then you just sit back and wait to see what happens next. I kind of wish something like that would happen so thw world could have a fresh start.

If I was a levithan then the family would try and kill me, if I was in the family I'd have more protection but might be expected to fight to the death, so I'd probably be a loner.

So what's so great about perpetuating the population anyway? My main concern about being a female after the apocalypse is that it would be expected that I breed. *shudder*
