Nerding out over arcology lately has me thinking about arks as in Noah. “Arkology” seems to be the name of an album, but maybe we can use it to mean study of arks. As in self-contained, vertically integrated habitats for survival through apocalypses.

All arks are arcologies (=architected ecologies) but not all arcologies are arks Arkology is the study of arcologies that are arks Eg: Noah’s Ark, Golgafrinchan B Ark, Snowpiercer train

Ark selection is when thanks to natural variation among arks, some arks survive and others don’t. For example nobody knows about Noah’s brother Chuck. Chuck’s Ark didn’t make it, and neither did dozens of others. They retconned this into god’s choice. Damn intelligent designists.

Pick your arks people. Not all arks will make it, but not being on any ark means you definitely won’t make it.
