Read this:
When the End of Human Civilization Is Your Day Job: Among many climate scientists, gloom has set in. Things are worse than we think, but they can't really talk about it.
So, given that we're going to be living in a very stressed out globe, how do we raise our children in such a way that they're good to go throughout the very real potential for major economic and social upheaval?
Well, I'm glad I'm thinking about it now, and I believe the more people who go this way, the better we'll all be because for every well-suited survivor, that's one less desperate (and therefore dangerous) helpmate.
- Comfortable migrating
- Living small, but with all you need to make it big.
- Psychologically fluent -- getting along with troubled people is going to be really important, so every skill you can muster to have people not want to kill you is going to work in your favor.
- Skilled at how the world works, physically, socially, politically and economically.
- Indefatigable sense of humor! How important will this be to maintaining a positive attitude when the shit hits the fan.
- Multi-lingual.
- Survivalist practice
- Medical training?
- Adaptable
- Comfortable with their own mortality.
I'll explain these next time I have a minute, but I'm going to bed because I'm getting up early tomorrow.
NOTE: not only are these good for the environmental apocalypse, but for any major life-threatening challenge we face, like life-threatening illness, relationship nightmares, any manner of natural disaster, zombie scenarios, deadly viral pandemic, etc.
