This is ridiculous for a lot of reasons. I'll try to just point out the top one or two in the interest of brevity. 1. Predicting the long-term future is a bizarre and fruitless game. One might even say idiotic. If you're a prepper, and I'm not, prepare to live for a month or three. I do. Whatever the heck happens, within 90 days there will be some new normal. You're not trying to live forever. You're just trying to outlive temporary chaos. At that point, you're going to have to reinvent some kind of life. Who knows what that will be? Not me. Not this guy either. 2. He mentions wi-fi a lot. Gotta have that internet, gotta have that wi-fi, gotta have that bluetooth. I kinda doubt it. Can you go a day without internet? How about power? Just turn all of your stuff off. Most folks should be able to learn how to live like normal humans have for eons. There are various hobbies and occupations where you spend a lot of time without power or plumbing: scouts, infantry, etc. These people know what it's like. There are enough of them that the species itself will do just fine no matter what sort of apocalypse you can dream up. It seems the problem with this essay, like so many pieces of media I consume daily, is the desire for _certainty_. Here's problem A. Here's exactly what it means, what causes it, and so on. And you have to do B to fix it. (Or, in this case, there is no B) Disasters are chaotic and uncertain. Assuming climate disasters, moreso. But that both means that things are going to be tougher _and_ you can't have-wave your way around predicting how it all will turn out. Are many people who think themselves preppers disillusioned about their actual skills and their ability to adapt? Absolutely! But that's a one sentence essay. What's the fun in writing and commenting about that? Apologies to the author. I believe there is a good one sentence thesis in there somewhere. But this sucked. I wish you better in the future.
