How Collapse Begins While Everything Looks Normal
Normal days can hide the first cracks. Shelves look full, the lights are on, and the news hums in the background—but essentials quietly vanish, rules stack, and neighbors turn into sides. We take you inside the subtle sequence that precedes open crisis and walk through how to spot warning signs early: scarcity that shows up as limits and uneven prices, everyday language drifting toward dehumanization, “reasonable” controls that quietly erode consent, information that slows or narrows into a single narrative, and social fracture that dissolves trust at street level.
From there, we pivot into practical steps designed to keep you calm and ready without panic or theatrics. We start with reading patterns over headlines and move to building a quiet buffer: two to four weeks of food you actually eat, clean water and filtration, medications and first aid, small bills, and fuel. We talk about converting fragile assets—digits on a screen—into useful ones like supplies, tools, skills, and mobility. We dig into real-world trust: meeting neighbors, identifying steady friends, and agreeing on simple plans. We emphasize controlling visibility so preparation doesn’t paint a target, and we lay out how to protect information with offline maps, printed contacts, radios, and check-in routines. Finally, we help you define exit triggers so you don’t wait until fear makes the call for you, and we close with a mindset shift: live your life, stay alert, and keep readiness quiet and durable.
If you’ve felt the energy tightening—prices creeping, outages spiking, rules stacking—this is your roadmap to stay grounded and ready for whatever. Subscribe, share this with someone you trust, and tell us: which warning sign do you see most clearly right now?

00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:05.919
Peace, peace to all my good people out there.
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:14.240
Welcome to another episode of Grounded and Ready for Whatever.
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:23.039
I'm Shay, and on this episode, we're going to be a little bit scenario-based.
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:24.079
Just a tad.
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:34.000
This episode is going to show you how collapse begins while everything looks normal.
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:42.799
So try to take notes as best you can, but just follow me for a bit.
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:46.479
All right, picture this.
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:49.280
Sicily 19.
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:50.399
Never mind.
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.359
If you catch the reference, you catch the reference.
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:58.159
The shelves are full, the lights are on.
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:01.600
Wi-Fi works when it wants to.
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:06.000
And everyone says that everything is fine.
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:12.000
And that is how collapse begins.
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:14.799
You're at home.
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:16.560
Coffee's hot.
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:22.079
The news is, you know, seamlessly playing in the background.
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:24.319
And life feels normal.
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.879
Except it really isn't.
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.920
The cracks are already here, ladies and gentlemen.
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:37.040
We see it every day.
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:49.840
But most people just don't know how to see them properly to use them effectively.
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.480
And I'm here to help you do that.
00:01:52.719 --> 00:02:00.000
So first sign is scarcity.
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:07.120
Now, stores that look stocked, but their essentials keep vanishing.
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.599
And you know the essentials I'm talking about.
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:19.439
You know, not the thousand bags of lay's potato chips or the 40,000 different varieties of Fruit Loop Cheerios or whatever.
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:24.560
I'm talking about the basic essentials that seem to disappear.
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:32.879
The eggs, the bread, the milk, the meat, the chicken, all of those things.
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:35.919
The vegetables, the fresh vegetables.
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.879
All of those things keep vanishing.
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.360
The canned foods, the medicine, the fuel.
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.280
Limits start to appear.
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:54.240
Oh, you can only buy two of this on this day, or three of this at all, or one of this at this exchange.
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:57.520
Prices start to jump.
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:02.319
Two dollars for a dozen of eggs here, twelve dollars for a dozen of eggs there.
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:10.159
These aren't coincidences, they're the opening phases of force scarcity.
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:16.080
Because if you look at it, scarcity breeds fear.
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:18.800
Fear breeds hoarding.
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.080
Hoarding breeds panic.
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:30.240
Panic turns violent, and then history is written.
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.960
And it never changes this order.
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:39.280
Always, always, and always starts with that first sense of fear.
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:41.360
Look at COVID.
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:45.199
If you were here for COVID, you know how COVID started.
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:50.879
Toilet paper and paper towels never became such a necessity as it did at that point.
00:03:52.800 --> 00:04:02.879
And a lot of people now, if you notice, whenever they feel the need to hoard, or maybe mini hoard as it is, they always go for those essentials.
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:05.520
Toilet, paper, and paper towels.
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:12.400
When I was younger, the essentials were bread, milk, eggs.
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:18.399
Now it's toilet paper because I guess we're shitting all day and wiping our hands.
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:24.000
Anywho, the second sign, dehumanization.
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:30.399
And we've if you spend enough time on social media anywhere, we've already seen that.
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:36.560
It just depends on how much you actually are on social media to see it as much as you do.
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:59.279
The language is starting to shift, you know, traders, leftists, rightists, enemies, vermin, illegals, immigrants, those people, they people, all these words, they're starting to, you know, trickle into normal conversation, regular conversation.
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.040
And it's just not online.
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:20.560
It's not just politicians, it's not just the media, it's our coworkers, our family members, our church members, our people at the bank, our people that we conversed with at the grocery store, all these people, all these words are now in regular conversation.
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:29.680
And once people stop seeing each other as human, cruelty becomes acceptable.
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:36.560
And then having a disagreement with someone becomes dangerous.
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:51.040
And then it shows that what all this shit that we're doing is justified because they can't act right, or they don't deserve all of this good stuff that we have here.
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:52.720
It's not for them, it's for us.
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:58.079
This is the mentality of when it's dehumanization has occurred.
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:05.199
It doesn't matter that you're another human being, it doesn't matter that you know you're going through this thing, something that I created.
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:06.879
This is them talking, not me.
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:11.040
But it doesn't matter that none of this is going, all this is going on right now.
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.399
I don't see you as human anymore because you're a traitor.
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.120
You're a leftist, you're a rightish, you're a whatever.
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:17.920
You see?
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:33.120
Once these terms, these words, this shift happens, removal becomes justified because disagreement becomes dangerous.
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:37.839
Third sign, tightening controls.
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:56.879
Now, we in a certain community, in a certain collective, me meaning you, you meaning me, those who know who they know, we have been put under such scrutiny for a long time now.
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:01.199
And we used to it, honestly.
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:08.160
Some of us in certain communities, we're used to this level of control because this is how they always want us to be.
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:18.079
Because once we are in that level, it's we're easy to be manipulated, to be separated, to be all of those words and things.
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.600
We can be easily controlled that way because that's how they've always done it.
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:28.319
It started with, you know, let me not get all preachy here, but I'm gonna get a second or preachy here.
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:33.040
Look up where actual modern day police officers started from.
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:35.279
Don't worry, I got the answer for you.
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:39.680
They started from slave catchers during slavery.
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:52.160
They needed people to round up random black people who could be escaping, and they became slave catchers, and they became the modern-day police force.
00:07:52.319 --> 00:08:03.040
So if you on inception are of a thing, if this is how you started, I do not see it getting any better from there.
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:23.839
So I say all that to say the things that we have been seeing now in Minnesota and the National Guard and all of that stuff is the third sign of tighten control, but just on everybody, not just us.
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:27.199
Because us in our community, we've already seen it like that.
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:35.039
We live it, we we breathe it, we walk while black, drive while black, read while black, all that stuff while black, and we understand it, we live it.
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:46.799
But the other people, they're just now starting to see exactly what we've been trying to tell them, and they don't know what to do because their mindset is different.
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:53.840
I feel like they think, and I don't know this, but I feel like they think, well, they must be lying because it's great over here.
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.080
I never see Jim the cop do such herocious things to people.
00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:59.759
I don't think he would ever do that.
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:12.399
But then Jim the Cop is actually the one on the police camera doing said things, but she would never believe it because her mentality doesn't give her the discernment to think that way, but we know.
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.039
Yeah, we definitely know.
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.240
But the third sign tightening of controls.
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.960
New rules appear overnight.
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:32.799
We the executive orders that appear overnight, the curfews, the travel limits, the website bans, more police, more checkpoints.
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:38.399
Each step seems reasonable, right?
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:44.960
Until all of those reasonable requests start to stack.
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:47.840
You know, one day, hey, there's a curfew.
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:51.759
You can't move freely between these hours and these hours, but it's for your safety.
00:09:52.080 --> 00:10:00.480
But then they say, Yeah, you can move during these hours, but you can't only go these places, you can only stay in these areas.
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:02.799
It's it's for your safety and ours as well.
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:14.639
And then they say, Oh, okay, well, while you're in those certain areas during those certain times, you can only be on certain websites of the internet that you pay for on your phone, but it's for your safety.
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:34.080
All of this is for your safety, and then they start to stack, and then you have more police presence in that safe area during those safe curfews, and then they have checkpoints with those police police officers in those areas during those times.
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:53.120
All of these little things seem reasonable until they stack, and then reasonable accommodations, as it were, start to feel like prison or concentration can't be.
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:58.320
I've never been in one, but I've read stories and I've seen books, you know.
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:14.639
And here's the really scary part with this third sign: when leaders stop explaining and just start saying just comply, consent is gone, y'all.
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.000
And control has replaced trust.
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:31.519
When leaders stop explaining and start saying, just comply, or they don't need to explain, you just need to comply.
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:38.480
Consent is gone, control has replaced trust.
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:44.320
Fourth sign, information fades.
00:11:46.799 --> 00:12:09.360
Today is January 18th, and uh recently we had a well, certain people, not everybody, but there was an internet outage for all member all people who had Verizon that included internet, file, cell phone, all that stuff.
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:18.879
And it's happened before, and as we all know, different carriers have different levels of service levels sometimes.
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.600
Some people sometimes they go out, sometimes they don't.
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:28.960
But think about it, it's been happening a lot more often lately, and a lot more carriers have been affected.
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:46.720
So when the internet starts to slow down and the information starts to trickle slowly, doesn't even matter what type of information, just the fact that our society now is based on a here, I need this information now, and if I don't have it right now, I'm gonna ship bricks.
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:49.919
That is where we're at with our information gathering.
00:12:50.080 --> 00:13:00.320
So if there's a delay or it's buffering or searching, people start to, you know, slowly lose their shit.
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:14.000
So imagine if that happens during periods of unrest, during periods of government agencies coming to kicking your door freely, because they could do that now if you didn't know.
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:31.919
Side note the um Supreme Court voted that nine to zero, mind you, nine to zero, that the Fourth Amendment, right where police or government officials cannot come to kick your door in in your home without a warrant, they just said nah to that no more.
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:37.440
If the police have reasonable cause to come to your home, they can kick your door in.
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:40.399
And that's not fake news or none of that.
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:42.879
Go research that yourself, every everyone.
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:46.240
Because when I read it, I had to look at it twice to see what it was really saying.
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:51.840
But the way it reads, to me, it says that.
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.320
So, what do you think happens when the internet goes down?
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:13.039
It gets slowly um slow to back up again, and there's already shit popping in cities, and social media goes completely dark, and the news outlets or the information that you you are getting, it all says the same shit.
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:17.679
It's all feeding you the same narrative, it's all telling you the same story.
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:19.679
What do you do?
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:21.360
Do you believe it?
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:23.200
You have to, right?
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:24.639
Because what else do you have?
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:28.720
You don't have anything else to believe but the information that's being presented to you.
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:32.320
So this fourth sign is information.
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.039
You don't have the basic choice of free information.
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:40.720
And this isn't a failure, it is literally a strategy.
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:58.000
They do this in order to set the population up because a population that can't communicate properly can't organize properly, and a population that can't organize properly, they can't resist at all.
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:08.000
So if your internet goes out one day and you don't know when it's gonna come back, that's one of those flags to say, hmm.
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.039
One of those signs that Shay was talking about.
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:17.679
But the fifth sign is social fracture.
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:28.399
This is where one, and we could be here already, depends on you know your particular situation, but neighbors stop being neighbors.
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:45.600
Politics becomes identity, families split based on the politics, communities harden into sides, your side, my side, our side, their side.
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:57.279
That shit is happening every day, and the other steps that I've mentioned have fed into this particular step directly.
00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:06.639
Because if you don't know your neighbors and you don't talk to your neighbors, who's gonna vouch for you when they come knocking?
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:18.000
Not saying that they would vouch for you anyway, but societies don't collapse because of armies, generally speaking.
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:33.840
They collapse when people stop helping each other, and they collapse when people start snitching on each other to the people who are come knocking on their door in the first place to take them and their families and separate them in the first place.
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:40.159
That's how societies collapse, and that's how they win.
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:57.600
Because normally when trust disappears, violence fills that space, and it's the most easiest thing to do when you feel like you ain't got nothing left.
00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:04.240
So now you say, Shay, thank you for pooping in my Cheerios.
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:05.920
What do we do now?
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:10.640
We've all seen the signs, and what do we do now?
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:23.119
Well, we know that the shift doesn't happen all at once, these are slow builds of actions and occurrences, but it creeps, and it's definitely creeping right now.
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:30.319
And it might not happen tomorrow, it might not happen this year, but it's coming, and we feel it.
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:31.599
The real ones feel it.
00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:35.680
The real people who feel the energy of things, we feel it.
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:44.160
But I'm here to tell you, we ain't gonna be caught off guard because this isn't a time to panic.
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:46.960
It's definitely not a time to panic.
00:17:47.119 --> 00:18:00.240
This is a time to position, and it's all about positioning, and we're gonna position ourselves to win or to at least not be caught off guard for the bullshit.
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:06.319
So, step one, read the patterns, not the headlines.
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:10.720
Headlines are noise, headlines are noise.
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:17.920
Patterns are the truth of things, the things that happen constantly over and over and over again.
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:19.759
That's a pattern, right?
00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:29.920
Right, a headline is just something to draw you in, clickbaity of things, something to look at and say, hey, I'm interested in this.
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.240
Let me read further, let me draw your attention further.
00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:48.480
Things to watch for, shortages that return after being fixed, the eggs, bread, milk, all of the things, the meat, the chickens, all of that.
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:53.200
They'll keep coming back and then going away, keep coming back and going away.
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:57.039
Those are shortages that should be paid attention to.
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:00.640
Also, prices rising faster than wages.
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:01.519
We see that now.
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:02.880
That ain't something to watch for.
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:04.559
That's happening today.
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:11.440
Language turning from disagreement to blame, emergency rules that never roll back.
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:15.359
Collapse is cumulative, people.
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:22.000
One sign is coincidence, two, three tend to be a trend.
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:24.000
Four or five is a warning.
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:27.119
All of this is happening right now.
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:31.839
So step two, build a quiet buffer.
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:34.160
You don't need a bunker.
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:37.119
Now, if you can get one, kudos to you.
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:40.480
If you can get one, hit me up.
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:43.920
I would love to come visit if we need to, but yeah.
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:54.880
But you, if you can't uh can't afford one, you don't really need one, you just need some good shit to hold you over.
00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:59.759
Aim for two to four weeks of independence at a minimum.
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:10.640
A month because two to four weeks is gonna do a lot more than not planning at all or feeling too overwhelmed to plan for 10 to 15 years in advance.
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:14.319
Two to four weeks is a lot easier to work with.
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:16.480
And what do you need to get?
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:26.160
Food you already eat that is shelf stable, your beans, your rice, all of those things.
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:34.960
Things that can last for two to your two to four weeks of independence, your water, your filtration of water if you don't.
00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:41.039
You need gallons of water for you and every individual that's in your home, including your pets.
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:42.720
Think about the babies.
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:56.559
If you have little ones that need um formula, you need water for the formula, medication, first aid, cash in small bills, and I mean small bills like ones and fives and tens and twenties.
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:10.160
Don't be hoarding 50s and hundreds, they're not gonna have the value you think it's gonna have, especially in a situation where everybody don't have hundreds.
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:16.000
Fuel never let your tank drop below half.
00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:17.759
And it's a preference thing of mine.
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:29.359
You do what you want, but if shit goes left and you're trying to get home, the last thing you need to have on your brain, am I gonna make it home?
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:32.720
Because I only have a half a tank of gas.
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:43.200
Now remember, all of this is not hoarding, it's just removing levels of pressure during a highly stressful situation.
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:54.480
When other people are out there panicking, you don't have to because you've already built yourself up of two to four weeks or more of stable independence for you and your loved ones.
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:55.839
And that's it.
00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:02.960
Shelf stable food, some water, some basic medical and first aid, a little bit of cash, and some gas.
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:04.319
If you can.
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:12.000
Step three convert fragile assets into useful ones.
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:18.880
Now, when these regular systems wobble, convenience is the first thing that disappears first.
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:24.640
So whatever money you think you have in the bank is gone.
00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:27.759
It's literally just poof on the screen.
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:32.480
It was a ones and zeros on a digital screen is gone now.
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:40.880
So your food, your tools that you have, your skills that you have are more solid than that money because that money is fragile.
00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:52.000
But the food, the tools, the skills, and the moment the level of mobility that you have, the freedom of movement to go from one place to another, that is solid.
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:56.240
So what you do have, you can shift gradually.
00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:59.680
Move some of your savings into supplies.
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:08.480
If you have a hundred dollars in savings, maybe move that hundred dollars into some stuff you can put into your pantry that you're gonna eat.
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:13.200
One more thing about the uh shelf the stable foods.
00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:15.759
Buy foods that you're going to eat.
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:19.680
Don't just buy foods that you think is what you you're supposed to buy.
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:24.319
Buy the foods that you're supposed to buy, but you're also going to eat.
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:33.440
Imagine being stuck somewhere that you don't want to be in a highly stressful situation with food you don't want to eat, too.
00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:36.640
Just saying.
00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:40.799
Back to shifting gradually.
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:45.359
Take some of your savings and move it into supplies.
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:48.640
Buy your water filtration if you need to with that.
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:53.680
Buy some things to fortify your home if you need to, if you can.
00:23:55.920 --> 00:23:59.839
Step four, build real world trust.
00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:13.839
All of us that know people from online or have online relationships with people or what have you, once the online networks vanish, those people are gone.
00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:24.000
Unless you've created solid solid foundations with them and actually have communicated with them outside of those online platforms, because all of that shit is gonna go.
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:40.160
That's why I'm saying you also need to know your neighbors, even if you're not a personable person, if those people are complete and utter assholes, you still need to know those people, you still need to know their names, you still should know what they look like.
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:47.759
Because in the event that you need to know their names, you're gonna be really mad if you don't.
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:54.960
So build these real-world trust networks as best as you can.
00:24:55.119 --> 00:25:01.839
I know everybody, you know, can't have communication, can't talk to everybody, but try as much as you can.
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:07.440
You need people that know your name, you need neighbors that know your name.
00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:14.720
You need friends who stay calm under stress, you need family members that you can coordinate with all of this stuff with.
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:18.480
Now, I understand if you're that person that everybody coordinates with you, that's cool.
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:23.200
But then if you're that person, you need to know who you can coordinate with.
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:32.400
And you need one person that you can rely on without explanation, and you know why you need that person.
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:44.880
I shouldn't have to explain it for you, but if you need just a tad bit of explanation, this person is going to do whatever, whenever, however, and not actually why.
00:25:45.279 --> 00:26:03.279
Just say when we going and have quiet conversations now with these people that you want to build in your trust network, because nothing is the worst of having these plans and they're ready to go, but you have sold them to absolutely nobody.
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:06.160
And if that's how you want to carry it, that's cool too.
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:18.640
But if you want to have some type of trust network of individuals that's gonna move with you the way that you wanted to move, then you have to have these conversations and you have to see if they're gonna be on the same pages with you.
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:29.519
Step five, control your visibility in unstable times.
00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:34.319
Shit, in stable times, attention is a liability.
00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:37.759
Never broadcast your preparation.
00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:39.279
Ever.
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:45.279
Never tell people what you got, how you got it, where you're putting it, how you're preparing for XYZ.
00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:05.919
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:14.240
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:23.039
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:24.079
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:34.000
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:42.799
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:46.479
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:49.280
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:50.399
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.359
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:58.159
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:01.600
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:06.000
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:12.000
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:14.799
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:16.560
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:22.079
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:24.319
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.879
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.920
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:37.040
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:49.840
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.480
00:01:52.719 --> 00:02:00.000
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:07.120
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.599
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:19.439
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:24.560
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:32.879
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:35.919
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.879
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.360
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.280
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:54.240
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:57.520
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:02.319
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:10.159
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:16.080
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:18.800
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.080
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:30.240
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.960
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:39.280
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:41.360
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:45.199
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:50.879
00:03:52.800 --> 00:04:02.879
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:05.520
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:12.400
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:18.399
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:24.000
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:30.399
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:36.560
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:59.279
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.040
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:20.560
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:29.680
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:36.560
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:51.040
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:52.720
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:58.079
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:05.199
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:06.879
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:11.040
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.399
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.120
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:17.920
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:33.120
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:37.839
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:56.879
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:01.199
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:08.160
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:18.079
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.600
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:28.319
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:33.040
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:35.279
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:39.680
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:52.160
00:07:52.319 --> 00:08:03.040
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:23.839
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:27.199
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:35.039
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:46.799
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:53.840
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.080
00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:59.759
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:12.399
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.039
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.240
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.960
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:32.799
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:38.399
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:44.960
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:47.840
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:51.759
00:09:52.080 --> 00:10:00.480
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:02.799
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:14.639
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:34.080
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:53.120
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:58.320
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:14.639
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.000
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:31.519
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:38.480
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:44.320
00:11:46.799 --> 00:12:09.360
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:18.879
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.600
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:28.960
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:46.720
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:49.919
00:12:50.080 --> 00:13:00.320
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:14.000
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:31.919
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:37.440
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:40.399
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:42.879
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:46.240
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:51.840
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.320
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:13.039
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:17.679
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:19.679
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:21.360
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:23.200
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:24.639
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:28.720
