Great article! It is fascinating to think about why we crave such content. I think another important reason is that this sort of survival vs death gives a human being purpose for one's own life. This apocalypses strips down the core concept of life versus death while also pushing the existential question of what it means to live one's life.

I completely agree Deep Dish. We have mastered survival so much that we forgot that life’s purpose used to be to just survive.
