A lot to process in this essay. I agree with the premise and the need to withdraw from the broken systems surrounding us, but I wonder about the ability of the average person to adapt. As an example, many individuals in my environment continue to vote as a civic duty, despite the misery it delivers. They bought into the COVID nonsense, mock any changes to our dismal medical system, and vote by party alignment, unmoved by empty candidate promises. I sincerely hope for a return to personal autonomy and localized networks, but fear that it will be a very slow process.
I suspect people will stay hyper local and gradually spread to incorporate more blocks. Everyone will be extremely suspicious but I also think with less stimulation, they'll be less overloaded and have more clarity.
I had to backup and re-read several sections. Feels like that proved the book itself. Cognition does get overloaded. The complexity of the judicial system proved that years ago. Try to litigate a case now Pro Se. The legal professionals use the Justice buildings for socializing and work on cases in between. When citizens go near them, they have the forced forehead look that makes those ¹¹ wrinkles between your eyebrows. This, and children, are the biggest causes of them.
The IRS is in that same complex state. When a citizen can't sit down to fill a form of basic data and the questions become increasing too complicated to comprehend, it's the end. They give up because it's way to much. They hire people like me, who's dealt with the agency and has adapted to speak their language I am the bridge between them. The person is saturated. The system has some stability but the cracks of stress are visible. I suspect it won't be long.
The Elites have this information. Their "experts" know this. They see it coming. Is this why their panicking and we're seeing it in plain view? What drove then to such extremes?
this essay actually gave me hope - that the apocalypse they have been trying to shove down our throats is not just improbable but actually impossible, and i thank you for that perspective. however, i think you could have made it much briefer and more accessible to a wider audience if you had done some serious further editing. the many redundancies make it difficult to wade through (in fact i kept thinking that my cursor had skipped back a paragraph or two). along with the excessively intellectualized language and some of your own unique jargon, it does not make for easy reading and, though i thought of a few people to send it to, am hesitant due to these qualities.
PLEASE PLEASE MAKE THIS ARTICLE INTO A HARD COOY BOOK!!!
Thank you for an eye opening essay, this very dense information has to be digested slowly and takes time to assimilate. To think about, to refer to personal thoughts and experiences, can’t be just read through and to go on to the next heavy revelation.
Note that while the experts start to fragment the narrative, the amount of corruption required to maintain this globalist or centralized structure is mind boggling. We are watching this in real time, albeit on an accelerated timeline.
What this article fails to mention is that a big part of assuming agency is trusting one's intuition. The centralized, gatekeeping expert system has programmed that out of us and to relearn that we have to go through the five stages of grief, of which one of them is cognitive dissonance, or the realization that what we see with our own eyes does not match what we learned as true. Stage 5 is resignation, or the acceptance of what is and that is when we get our intuition back; it allows us to navigate the localized or decentralized networks, supply chains and health care by using the grapevine to seek out those who can help.
Although digital neighborhoods will exist, the majority of our needs will be met locally and those communities which have a dearth of services will get service providers in a way which suits the needs of those living in such communities: backyard chickens, small scale gardens where produce is exchanged, get to know your local hunter, or in the outskirts of towns, ranchers willing to sell herdshares or local farm stores that substitute for a big box stores whose aisles have mostly processed food, one of the first expert system to collapse.
Larger cities will feel this first as they grew large because that is where centralized services exists, where better paying, sometimes make work jobs exists (changing now) and people grew used to outsourcing their decisions to the gatekeepers. Smaller town stayed rural because they were too far from a major transportation (logistics) hub, so these people stayed self reliant. As the centralized hubs start to fail, and the population from big cities start to disperse as these cities start failing, the newcomers learn self reliance from those long time residents who never left. This may sound backward, but retailers such as Amazon makes it easier to live in such places.
Health care is where IMO, one will see the biggest fall of institutionalized decision making, because it is the area where we outsourced almost all of our agency. The corruption behind the covid jab is mind boggling, but also very typical of the kind of institutional capture needed to enforce such a narrative. It is also where a lot of experts will remove their muzzles and form a system of healthcare that respects agency. People must be willing to do their homework in order to be avoid being one of the casualties. As these institutions fail, the information needed to assume agency over your health care will become more available as well as providers willing to provide that type of care.
That would be simple. Just prompting AI to generate it in book format, instead of an essay, with so many pages and in any desired writing style.
With a catchy title and a meaningful subtitle one could have AI design the cover page as well showing pictures of impending doom and rebirth in full color.
You're welcome!
Oh, I have the perfect subtitle: "How Com munism Survived the Collapse and Spread Throughout the West".
This article was all of “today’s zeitgeist” wrapped up in a nice neat bow with a cherry on top…I resonated deeply with this article…I read and grokked every word, top to bottom…come to find out that this cat is associated with the Mises Institute out of Auburn, Alabama of which I am a member, as well…no wonder I resonated with this article and it’s author
Well and truly done, Son…I found this article to be uplifting and positive in tone and in many ways, an understated approach to our present day struggles with a beneficial and positive outcome contemplated…
Yes the systemis in a negative trend but few seem to suspect that there is a higher power which doesnt want us to procreate more but rather decrease and leave more room for other parts of the biosphere. In the past people may have feared God. Today they believe they are like Gods. They are capable of altering the world as much as they want and they dont think there is any control from a higher power. So they analyse our own decisionmaking never doubting that we as a species have the power

yes re less overload and more clarity. . . . by blocks do you mean like city blocks?
I guess I should have said area. I meant the suburbs and rural. I don't think they'll be anyone in cities.
It's a new world, albeit mutated and the natural order of the universe.
It takes common sense reasoning and most of humanity has lost that skill.
It's for ears to hear and eyes to see.

Biblically, Jesus WAS here 1000 years ago. This is "the Little Season" as described therein.
Keep your faith.
We've been lied to about nearly all of our HIS - STORY...
Time to finally Realize with your REAL EYES, the REAL LIES.
That's entirely possible.

Again, thank you.
Don't Get Even Get Odd
Brilliant, first rate essay!
This makes complete sense to me.
The West is done. There is no coming back from this.
Significantly, in the Bible's lineup of endtime nations, the West is nowhere found.
Lovely! Thank you. Articulates what I notice on many fronts locally. Get creative folks.
