Seriously though, your thought provoking words terrify and amuse me at the same time.

I do understand some of the deeper stuff you're saying, and maybe others here do too but just don't talk about it much.

I'm just a humble guy that has learned a few skills, but I constantly question how it will be in shtf? Although I think most here agree a slow shtf has been going on for a long time now, but what would a sudden more intense one really be like? During covid all of the predictions about sheeple behaviour played out, got enough bog roll boy? Oh yes a whole trollies worth, oh that's nice, do you have enough food to wipe off with it? Errrr glazy eyed look. I watched one guy in the early days of covid when the shelves started to clear just sort of hovering around the bread and rolls, picking this, then picking that, then putting back, then grabbing others, totally panicked and totally clueless, it was just total animal instinct behaviour.

I like you also feel like I'm being driven and guided to this thing called prepping, call it ancestral, call it spiritual, call it memory genes, or maybe a combination of all of those things? And I still don't know if there really is a deeper reason to it or not, but I strongly feel there is. Maybe that time is now fast approaching when we will know...

I love the headcase/genius bit. ;D In some circles there is a belief that a fine line is drawn between the two. I think anybody watching all this is likely to be pulling their hair out a little, especially when trying to encourage others to get growing and being rebuffed.

I watch this unfolding situation. I calculate as many possible outcomes as I can. I then start working out probabilities. A bit like Joshua on war games when he plays tic-tac-toe against himself lol. I then compare this to what info is being made available and look at the 'pieces on the board' as i call them. Sometimes it is easier to predict what comes next and sometimes it is hard.

Yes, you are right, this has been going on a long time. 2020 was the opening salvo, designed to weaken the supply chain. It worked. This war in one of the most important farming counties is another big blow. Note the timing: March - the soil is warming up and farmers want to get planting. Note the areas being affected. This is all intentional.

I understand what you say about witnessing others shopping. Personally I stayed well away from all the supermarkets at that time. Your comment about glassy eyes resonated with me and I have a vivid mental picture now. Some of them would seem to be on autopilot and not really there and others would be more animated and potentially more aggressive, and all over bum napkins. I hate to think how it will be if it is the food. The length of this conflict and the sanctions will be the deciding factor on that one.
As for feeling driven: always follow your instincts. They seem pretty good to me.
Good luck, mate.
