When the fires have been put out, the dead buried, and the smoke clears. Then the survivors can begin to rebuild. Try to be one.

Not our generation; wars never begin during times of plenty. Rather, they are manifestations of competition over scarce resources write large by conglomerations (aka states).

Even a cyclical financial downturn won't be sufficient. Fiat money and debt are mere governors regulating nominal production and wealth.

No, I'm talking about real, finite resource constraints, and the attendant roll-forward effects. How many know that after centuries complaining of being under royal yoke, it took food shortages in France to finally launch the revolution.

In addition, going on about preparing for said conflict can easily (or intentionally) be misconstrued by either FR as agitating/advocating. No, the solution is to provide a collective effort along the lines of Paine. Explain, teach and plant the seeds so that others will have a firm, well constructed support for philosophical motivation.

It's (far) too late for us; it might have actually been all over decades ago, we just didn't know it. But now that we do, what are we going to do about it?
