    The idea of a doomsday bunker being dumb and mostly pointless aside, a flammable moat is the best defense system they can come up with? In a doomsday scenario, why would someone waste precious good fuel to set a moat on fire for a few days? Instead of using, say, booby traps?

    And of course Yudkowsky, the writer of the world’s most boring Harry Potter fan fiction had to chime in with an even worse take.

      Yeah, that sounds like something straight out of poorly written fiction.

      Yeah there’s no way mines aren’t a better worse idea.

          I was thinking anti-personnel mines, but yeah, either are better than fire moat.
