[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to do this but I am worried the infrastructure will collapse, the shit will hit the fan, and I will wish I had all those old t shirts to make into reusable toilet paper. Have you read Lionel Shriver's new book, The Mandibles?[/quote] The key is to be resourceful and have social capital, because this releases a lot of the fear that lies behind hoarding. Become aware of how much abundance is in nature and in human communities, and how it doesn't require each person to own and hang on to so many things out of desperation and fear. For toilet paper, for example, learn which leaves are good for this, and you're set. In other cases, you can work on developing a practical skill that you can leverage to barter with people who have other things or knowledge you'll need. Besides, it is folly to think that we can each hoard enough to survive on our own for very long if the shit hits the fan.[/quote]
