Greer on urgent preparation. Includes Bardi on 'green hydrogen' (roflmao) and Jung on psychosis epidemics. Plus other crucial insights for the current disaster

Published in March this year, but sharply relevant to the ‘collapse early and avoid the rush’ situation in which we’re all now enmeshed.

Whether intended or not, it seems that the swindlers behind the covid scam have triggered off one of those sudden lurch-downs in human society which John, wearing his historian’s hat, has been chronicling for years, and which, as he asserts, punctuate the slow, steady Long Descent away from our current hitech industrial society with episodes of sudden sharp dislocation. These always ease after a brief acute period, but they always leave us further down the Descent than we were when they began: steady decline, but peppered with sudden stair-step episodes.

This piece by John should serve to encourage interest in all the unsexy, small-scale practical things that we common shlubs can begin doing right now, if we haven’t already, to adapt to the Long Descent, and at the same time to be emergency-prepared for the next lurch-down - of which there will be a steady string over the next decade or so. Another reason for a special ‘Practical Preparedness’ section at 5F. Do you hope to be still alive in 2030? If so, the ideas herein concern YOU - and yours; right now.

Especially so as most of us reading and posting here are members of the Pampered Twenty Percent of the Earth’s humans, and it’s our over-prosperous, over-developed lifestyles which are causing the most trouble, and which are now imminently scheduled to take the sharpest hit over the next couple of decades - at least. Get ready for our new;; neo-subsistence-peasant status; our comfy-bourgeois status is already cancelled, we just haven’t received the official memo yet. If the covid-scammers are allowed to achieve their villainous goals, you’ll be getting that on your iphone soon enough (if you’re daft enough to keep an iphone… :slight_smile: ) :
