(You. Yes, You. Stand Still For It Will Ya?)<\/p>\n

Maybe it’ll be every bit as apocalyptic as he says. Or maybe there will be a few years where it is only half as bad as that. Either way, I ask you to please imagine that you are your own great-grandparent, watching the sky darken with a Great Depression in the early 1930s. <\/p>\n

If you knew, months or years before the Crash, what was coming, what would you do to make your life ready for it?<\/p>\n

Where have you been, my darling young one? Where will you go, when the number is None?<\/p>\n

My answer to myself, and my advice for what it’s worth to you. If anything.<\/p>\n

Liquidate every asset into cash, and then as quickly as possible, turn most of that cash into real goods that will see you through the dark times in relative serenity and freedom from want, in a world where your dollars can’t buy real goods anymore. <\/p>\n

Don’t pay rent for anything, don’t lease, don’t hold ‘securities’ whose value is purely theoretical, don’t own properties that you can’t sleep in–don’t trust a 401K or a pension or social security, at least not until you’ve first already acquired alternatives that possess intrinsic value in ways you can hold in your hands and put in your mouth, on the day that the Elons and the Bezos and the Clintons fly off to Mars or New Zealand and leave you standing there, in your underwear. <\/p>\n

Stave off inevitable depression in any healthy way you see fit, but not at the cost of forgetting the sort of Depression your predecessors endured a hundred years ago. Rather remember the words of the prophet as written on the subway walls in the year I was incarnated to this miraculous disaster <\/p>\n
