I don't know what I'd miss, but maybe I'd see it as some sort of adventure. My skills and nature are more geared for survival than hypersuccess. Maybe I'd even have a kid or two.
"But look here doctor, wouldn't this nucleus of survivors be so grief stricken and anguished that they, well, envy the dead and not want to go on living?
No sir. Also then, when they go down into the mine everyone will all still be alive. There will be no shocking memories and the prevailing emotion will be one of nostalgia for those left behind, combined with a spirit, of bold curiosity for the adventure!"
