Anyway, in short, I would never try to prepare for worst-case global scenarios because the magnitudes don't make sense for me to try to influence. Even if I was a prepper - I would have no insight into what would signal me being prepared/safe.
I try to focus a lot on optimizing my local conditions because they influence my daily life much more significantly and with much higher guarantees.
I'm in the market to buy a house in the next year or so and even asking myself the question, "Will living in <area> be a good choice in 50 years?" seems like a laughably difficult question to answer. I can look at how insurance prices are changing and historical patterns in temperature fluctuations, or I could bet on living next to civilization is better than living in the middle of nowhere, or I could bet living in a colder region is smart because it'll warm up, or I could find a warm region with geographical landscapes that insulate it from more extreme weather patterns, etc. etc.. but then what if the North Atlantic Current collapses and all the historical weather patterns are void?
In the end, I haven't found it good or healthy to try to build my life in the direction of that mindset. Instead, I strive to adopt an anti-fragile mindset and lifestyle (https://www.amazon.com/Antifragile-Things-That-Disorder-Incerto/dp/0812979680 https://www.amazon.com/Antifragile-Things-That-Disorder-Ince...).
I want to be healthy and fit so that my body and mind are adaptable to the ever-quickening pace of the world. I want to minimize my physical and mental addictions. I want to be kind, friendly, and outgoing to those in my local community as to strengthen them and to increase the likelihood of reciprocity. I want to be comfortable with leadership, and have enough confidence to lead when I feel I can get us to good outcomes. I don't want to make decisions based off of anxiety, fear, or scarcity. I want the systems I employ in my daily life to be efficient to the point of mindlessness. I want enough money to have a couple of years of runway if I have a serious injury.
None of my strategies guarantee me survival in black swan events, but who cares? Nobody's getting out of here alive anyway. Try to not make your lived-life hellish by envisioning what a worse tomorrow could be.
- nostromo 3y ago> ChatGPT is restricted from accessing this website Huh... they're banning ChatGPT specifically from accessing anything on their website. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/robots.txt https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/robots.txt User-agent: GPTBot Disallow: /
- blowski 3y agoIs it really that surprising? ChatGPT is effectively re-selling their content without giving anything back. What interest does Wiley have in helping ChatGPT grow?
- toomuchtodo 3y agoNot surprising, but they can just consume SciHub instead.
- sva_ 3y agoThat does not seem surprising for a publisher.
