    Although, I'd like to think that any student who defies NYU's demands will fare much better in the long run than a university that kowtows to facists

  • Assuming that immortality only applies to humans, environmental destruction would be a big one.

    People care more about pollution and climate change when they know they'll be around to face the consequences.

  • Here are some examples that come to mind:

    • Having enough food/water/essentials to make it through 3 days without electricity or gas (like what was recommend in Europe recently)
    • having a plan of how you'll to keep in contact and meet with people you care about if there's no internet or cell service
    • making sure whatever social media you use to voice dissent cannot be easily linked to your identity via email, photos, location data, etc.

    Basically the same sort of disaster preparedness you would have normally, except the last bullet point
