As with all videos I post, I may not endorse every view of the presenters. ... http://www.chrismartenson.com/crash-courseThe Crash Course Ready to learn everything you need to know about the economy in the shortest amount amount of time? The Crash Course is a condensed online version of Chris Martenson's "End of Money" seminar. What is it? The Crash Course seeks to provide you with a baseline understanding of the economy so that you can better appreciate the risks that we all face. The Intro below is separated from the rest of the sections because you'll only need to see it once...it tells you about how The Crash Course came to be. |

Good link. I am on part 6 but I'm heading home to watch the rest of it. The terms negative growth and negative prosperity are good alternatives to death, famine, and loss.
On the small scale you can see it in places like gold rush towns, boom and bust locations. The populations grow to almost bursting and then the people leave once everything has been sucked dry. On a planetary scale this idea is scary because there is no where else to go. We can't move to another planet, at least not yet, so there would be negative growth and prosperity. This is the whole idea behind population control but unless voluntary, its the same as slavery.
The one thing that everyone seems to miss is that these things will sort themselves out. I don't really look forward to that because its not going to be pretty.

This is the reason why we all prepare. Some of the stuff he was talking about is not exactly accurate but it is still far from being wrong, like the water drop doubling in Fenway. Doubling in size is not 1% but the affect is the same.
As an alternative to participating in the crash, what about developing a method of self sustainability? A self sustained family would have a better chance of surviving the crash. Is there enough time left? Those charts would say we have a very short time to get ready but we are seeing the effects of this everywhere.
What are the needs? The worst case scenario you would need Food, shelter, and water. Can you do that today?

What are the needs? The worst case scenario you would need Food, shelter, and water. Can you do that today? Yes. The problem is the amount of time that my preparations will last. With every additional person sheltered on this property, the ratio changes. On the upside, every additional person means more hands to assist with gardening and defense. Fortunately, the recent wildfires have put everyone into a survival mentality. I'm going to take advantage of that for as long as it lasts. |

Ironically, about a year ago, a very simple phrase came to me in a dream:
"You know the needs. Focus on the means."
I had no idea what that meant at the time.
Now I think I do.

My town is the only one in my area not to rely on the LA aquifer. I also have water within walking/hiking distance. That is clean, drinkable water that doesn't need filtering (but I would anyways.) Food is a mix of local crops, national forest hunting, and reserve stock piles. I always try to have THREE sources for everything.

I really liked this video series, I think it had a lot of good information, but also focused on more than just economics in the sense of money. Combining the ideas of economy, energy, and population and suggest how they will influence each other was a good angle to take. Two things that stuck out (it's been at least a week since I watched it) were the concepts of compounding and the value of a gallon of gas.
I watched another video recently, it was an older gentlemen (economist I think) and he was giving a lecture on the power of compounding. He used the same quote that "man's failure lies in not understanding the nature of compounding" or something to that affect.
The value of a gallon of gas, described in this video, is something I never considered before even though it should be so obvious. "Put one gallon of gas in your car and drive it until it runs out. Now push it back." Since gas is so low right now, under $2.00 a gallon in my area which I never thought I'd see again in my lifetime, I went down and got a couple more 5 gallon cans and topped them off with some Sta-bil added, because you never know.
