I'll let Peter Hitchens keep a chronicle. I'm collecting and studying enlightenment era literature to better understand what is being destroyed and what will need to be put back. I don't think the modern era is unique, I do think we're in the twilight of the enlightenment which was an unusually good time for my subset of humanity. Like Chertersons fense, we've forgotten how we got here and we're removing freedoms without understanding the consequences. My main goal is to avoid involvement in any great power conflict. I think I'm an unusual 'prepper' in that my long held prediction of 'collapse' was specifically the cost of living criss we are now experiencing. I prepared for it by investing in software that is inflation resistant. I targeted the low-cost substitutable good market so for me bad times are good.

I recently met a boomer and I had the shills, hearing him in Paris in 1968 mounting barricades, feeling that he had an impact on the course of the entire political world, feeling that he was setting the direction while mounting theater plays and opening up girl’s dormitories (reference: What triggered Paris’ May 1968 is the girls being locked up at night in their universities).

Compared to today. Even the major majority of the population can’t do a thing about the force propaganda, and the ones who protest see a million AI-generated flame pieces in newspapers.
