  Dive into the lessons of history, and you'll find a stark reality - progress doesn't always move in a neat upward trajectory. Civilizations rise, peak, and inevitably decline. Despite America's impressive achievements, the signs of a shifting landscape are undeniable. Our intricate systems, from highways to electrical grids, are marvels, but their maintenance demands are growing. In times of growth, the balance holds, but shocks to the system reveal vulnerabilities.

  As articulated by John Michael Greer in "The Long Descent," those who learn to adapt, improvise, and thrive amid the unraveling of familiar structures are the ones who'll navigate the gradual collapse. The behemoth infrastructures won't sustain our current lifestyle indefinitely. It's crucial to shift towards modularity, self-sufficiency, and independence.

  This journey led me to create this site, not as a guidebook but as a resource-sharing platform. The absence of explicit guides is intentional. In an age where the internet resembles Bentham's Panopticon, I aim to avoid contributing to the data centers' surveillance. By sharing resources, I encourage a self-guided learning journey, a fundamental step towards preparedness.

  The non-personal format stems from a disdain for the digital Panopticon. However, offering resources fosters a self-driven pursuit of knowledge - the cornerstone of readiness.

  Consider this final thought: While the skills shared here may suit a solitary lifestyle, independence isn't purely self-serving. Amid technology-induced loneliness, recognize an innate desire for goodness. Those capable of providing have an obligation to extend compassion to others impacted by the same forces eroding quality of life. Prepare to defend yourself against those who'd harm you, but discern between victims and perpetrators. Embrace goodness, stand firm in morality, show kindness, and maintain an eagerness to learn. God bless, and may fortune favor your journey!
