I know you have seen this coming for a while now - so, what's the plan? how are you preparing for something so many cannot yet see coming?
i will be going the off grid farming life route, potentially becoming a prompt engineer on icp if i even have to have any system contact at all any longer. not sure i want to or need to.
apart from growing my own produce and using icp and blurt, i really see not much reason to do much else considering where we both see society at large heading in the near future. i would love to put some truther kids into this world to preserve the non-smart-city human knowledge, but that can only come after the plants have started producing fruit.
so it's out of my hands sorta.
the funny thing is: more than scared or anxious, I instead feel excited and hyped up about this impending time of potentially unfathomable upheaval and chaos. weird, ahahaha. as some of the spiritual people say - maybe we did come to earth on purpose for this, who knows.
blessings from italy dude!
It's a good question and I see a lot of value in just living the homesteader life and just working on most things remotely. I feel like there are levels to all of it.
Here someone could be 40 miles away from major big box stores like Walmart and Home Depot and be pretty far off the beaten path or someone could even go further secluded than that in a place like Northern Michigan or Deep in the Ozarks in Missouri or Arkansas.
The biggest issue with me doing that are the women. It is very hard to get a woman who is on board with that. It's tough to keep women in the loop for a couple months. They are quick to throw things away here.
So I feel like going heavy homesteader route can really bottle neck someone with the women.
Guys are already ending up empty handed out here even living closer to the cities. It ends up being way worse out in the remote areas.
The other solution that is likely better for me is to go to Eastern Europe and it might be like going back in time partially.
Well, it's always a question of priorities. But I do know for a fact that such women exist, maybe you need to go check out some permies gatherings or something! ahahaha

As for Eastern Europe, the "modernity" fad has largely caught up by now. So more and more people there are now quickly getting into moving into the city and rejecting the inherited farm from their grandparents.
I'd much rather take the farm! lol
Good luck man
I get what you are saying. Everyone having smart phones has certainly changed the situation.
