I think that preparing for the worst case is understandable, but this way of preparing seems totally misguided and very childish.

I like the way Bill Gates is preparing much more, he is actively working and spending his billions to avoid collapse.

Peter Thiel and his likes seem to actively work toward collapse, gaming the system and profiting from the misery of the less fortunate along the way. Hoping to reestablish an "improved" version of their society elsewhere, even after its collapse, is beyond belief.

I hope that having friends will help more than having property, in the event of society collapse. At the very least, I'd hope NZ would quickly take all his money as a special "solidarity tax", if that day would come.
