      Disaster math! The probability of violent upheaval, whether natural or manmade, is high enough that it makes sense to do some prepping. https://medium.com/s/story/the-surprisingly-solid-mathematical-case-of-the-tin-foil-hat-gun-prepper-15fce7d10437 … h/t @St_Rev

      conspicuously absent here is getting to know your neighbors and community-building, which i think is probably the best bang-for-your-prepper-buck (maybe apart from physical fitness). prepper rhetoric often feels like an excuse to buy fun backyard toys.

      "Think like a Mormon only not necessarily with the religious stuff" is probably the single most concise way to describe the prepper mindset.

      i know very little of mormonism, so have very little context for understanding the connection. i know there are mormon transhumanist groups, which is kinda fascinating.

      Mormonism is very communal, but also prizes the nuclear family (with lots of kids, natch!)

      Mormon friends @AustenAllred and @calcsam could maybe fill in more details.

      There are two elements of this from a Mormon perspective. The first is that basically we’re all preppers. We all keep a year supply of food and water, we have 72 hour grab and go kits, and it’s a religious duty. Not to mention church stockpiles of resources.

          The second is how well organized the Mormons are, so whenever anything happens everybody knows exactly what to do and who is in charge in every scenario. Then there’s the humanitarian arm, but that’s a whole other discussion; the church keeps resources ready to go anywhere

          thanks for taking the time to explain, Austen. it makes me curious if similar results could be achieved (esp. at scale) minus the hierarchical organization structure implied in your descriptions, or if it's truly a fundamental aspect.

          i tend to think it would be possible and would include circling back to what @legalinspire meant re: disentangling the religious aspects from organizational preparedness.

          dunno either but it might dip into the territory of urbanism? how many of those social safety nets are replicated in municipal govt? what can they learn from churches to make services more personal and build trust? how do public libraries and community centers fit in the picture?
