rebuilding post collapse.

[Scythe13]

As long as people survive, the human genius will survive. We will be planting large fields of crops and the alike. Society will survive. The Mayans did crops, but they were killed off with a virus. Babylonians used farming, but war destroyed them. The Egyptians used crops, but they were destroyed by…..oh wait, they're still around. The British empire was destroyed by the plague and the capital city burned down, but they survived.

All major civilisations have used farming. That is the only option that'll get us through. The farmer pays the local people for protection through food. Simple as that. Those groups of marauders will actually be in the employ of the ruling party. Namely, those capable of bringing together people of purpose.

If we have been there once, we can get there again. It might just take a really long time. Ever heard of reverse engineering?
