The Industrial and Information Ages don't leave a lot of room for such collapses.

They leave a lot more room. In the Industrial Age, the excess extraction rate over the steady state sustainable extraction rate is at least 10 fold what it was in the Agricultural Age.

Besides, if there is no nuclear exchange I expect a new birth of freedom. The US and its government will thrive. I anticipate the familiar predictions of violence and collapse won't manifest. Instead, the high will be a high, the conservative values collapse, and infrastructure will be built. Stars...

I would like to live where there is a functional state government, for now, and have been in Texas for 17 years. Once things go completely to hell in a handbag, I think it would be better to be in a place that has as little government as possible at the state and local level. https://i.ibb.co/wQqqm...

The only people that will make it will have to live in isolated communities like the Hawaiian islands, Montana, or the Dakotas. For someone looking for a non nuclear war option, has good resistance to cold, and rural living skills, living near a Hutterite community may be a good option. There are H...

If the descent is a time of private selfishness behind public generosity, the darkness will be a time of private selfishness without public generosity. There will be no welfare system. People will be thrown back on their own devices and life will suddenly become much simpler. On the bright side, th...

What do you think of Buckminster Fuller, HB? A lot of periodicals found their way into our home when I was a kid (late 60s and 70s). Buckminster Fuller would be featured here and there. He was sort of a cult figure at the time and there were a few others. I remember one guy who had developed a peda...

The empty states are the ones with lots of dark green on the population map. They're also dry as a bone. Almost 30 years go, I was in eastern Montana and found a gas station up on a hill. Got out of the car and looked out and it seemed like I could literally see 50 miles. Nothing in sight but grass...

I was hoping for a developed mini-farm for reasons I'm now fully understanding. That's a good suggestion for people to consider. Once in a great while on sites like permies.com there will be a small farm for sale where the owners are old and/or tired, have built up the soil, and are ready to cash i...

The summers are broiling in Texas. Also, proximity to Mexico is an issue. With climate change, I'd prefer empty states like Vermont or ND. My ultimate destination will be northeast Nebraska after diesel supplies start to run out and 3-5,000 acre farms have to become smaller. It'll be a hard life. T...
