I also have always found the “the world might end tonight/tomorrow/next week” stories with people running around madly doing all the things they never would have otherwise a bit stretched. But then mob mentalities are not rational so I don’t really try to make too much sense of them
I suppose that would be my first approach to coping with the world ending—just keep my eye open to external madness and perhaps put some space between me and large population or something.
Since I generally don’t believe anyone has ever promised me tomorrow, the end of the world case does seem to fit into the “what has that got to do with me” view. I’d much rather live my life on my own terms than concede I have been living according to other people terms for some reason and feel the end of the world somehow free me from some constraints or something.
You really get asked that? Wow.
