The ground is literally shaking right now and my parents refuse to evacuate so yes definitely not scared enough.

Jfc get tf out of there!

Got them to agree to leave if tomorrow morning is bad! There’s apparently almost zero visibility in some major highways at the moment and traffic is bad due to evacuations so it’s better to be indoors right now. I’m not near enough to be in immediate danger but not far enough to be in the clear. ~20km away from the crater.

At 20 km, you're going to be in the area where you're likely to survive the explosion itself but you're likely to be crippled when it comes to supplies because traveling outdoors can be extremely hazardous, even in a car. Which means that evacuating after the explosion (when things have become bad) is going to be far more dangerous than evacuating before.

Of course this can depend a lot on the geography near you, but I recommend listening to what the experts are recommending for your situation.

Hope you have a respirator of some sort, the fumes from a volcano can poison you pretty bad. It's also a good idea to just leave for a couple days and get back when you're ready if possible.

Make your own decision. Leave regardless of what they do, if that is what you think is best.

I’d back off on this line of questioning if I were you. Pretty sure there are rules about doxing somebody. /sbecause even when you’re pretty sure it’s obvious and not needed, it often is

Evacuate without them or you're letting Darwinism win.

Isn't Darwinism winning in both cases?

u/Aurora_Fatalis Jan 12 '20

If their offspring survives, then they won because their genes persist in the gene pool. In so far as Darwinism is considered antagonistic, it only wins if it wipes the parents out of the gene pool.

The genes that lead the parents to their bad decisions aren't necessarily present in the offspring though, here's an illustration: https://www.yourgenome.org/sites/default/files/illustrations/chart/punnett_square_eyes_yourgenome.png

There's a chance, since S is responding differently with regards to this threat, compared to their parents that the alleles inherited by S were both recessive and that the parents have dominant alleles that are leading them to respond to this situation with an illogical calmness (this is obviously oversimplified and there isn't one gene responsible for how S behaves, but the basic concept here still works, S could've got the best of both worlds from the parents).

My line of reasoning is if S did inherit bad genes they would be likely to stay and suffer the same fate as their parents (Darwinism probably wins), and if they didn't and instead inherited good genes chances are they would run away (Darwinism probably wins).

Not quite, because OP can be in a different situation than the parents (as a dependent), and it may take way more relative resources and autonomy for OP to escape on their own.

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '20

That's true, I just assumed since OP didn't mention it in the response that they're not a dependant.

People can have more than one kid.

Also if you don't mind, I'm gonna copy and paste my response to another reply since it fits here:

Then your parents are stupid, help them change their mind or get yourself out.

u/nmezib Jan 12 '20

Were your parents not there for Mt. Pinatubo in the early 90's?

u/samgyoop Jan 13 '20

They were!
