Is it hypernormalization or is it adaptation to the slow collapse? Is there a difference?
I think you’ll see the difference as soon as food supplies are interrupted.
Adaption would mean that you accept the new normal as normal. Hypernormalizing shows that you are (yet) not adapting. At least in my book.
It certainly looks like people are adapting mentally. What level of adaptation are you thinking of?
Getting enough food supplies to last a season. Having plans for what to do if the power goes out for a week. Having a bug-out bag ready to go. Connecting with a community to prep for potential self-sufficiency. Learning skills that would be useful in a post-global trade scenario. Getting money out of banks and into tools and goods you can give away or sell. etc.
Yeah, that’s for rich people.
Nero wasn’t the only one fiddling…
It’s in our nature. We’re amazing at denial
It’s a coping mechanism.
Yanks are an amazing example of learnt helplessness
They shrug their shoulders, because most of them have absolutely no idea that better ways exist, or they’re just too busy trying to survive (which has been carefully and deliberately engineered)
As individuals I can’t blame them, but as a society I hold it in contempt
If they spent a fraction of their energy working together rather than trying to tear each other down, they wouldn’t be in this shitty situation
The US really is a crab-pile, and other societies see it as a warning (mostly… Turkyie, Hungary, Argentina and some others need a kick in the arse)
