Not going to lie, this was genuinely thought-provoking. I'm curious about a few things though: 1. The second part of your comment makes it sound like you're homeless by choice, but the beginning makes it sound like you've just fallen on some very rough times. I'd like to hear more about your story and how you came to be where you are. 2. The middle part of your comment about Trump and what comes next really does concern me. I think we're at a crossroads right now, but I'm a lot less convinced than you that we're going to go down the wrong road. If I look back at points in America's history like the Civil War, Great Depression, World War II, Vietnam, etc, this doesn't seem like we're at our most dysfunctional. We managed to pass through those eras without societal collapse. Doesn't mean we will this time, but what makes you so sure we won't? 3. The final couple paragraphs of your comment remind me of what I've read of stoicism. I commend you for realizing how little of our modern creature comforts are truly necessary, and being willing to honestly weigh them against their costs, both to you and to broader society. But you seem convinced that those who currently live a more "normal" existence will be paralyzed and helpless in the event of societal collapse. Why can't they adapt if you have?
