    WD Episode 012: Over-reliance on Technology, Collapse of The Grid, and The Need for Self-Reliance/Survivalism

    We lightly touch upon existential risks to humanity but focus on the overdependence on technology and what happens when the grid goes down. Survivalism should be emphasized considering there are many scenarios when the power grid and society can collapse, always be ready (semper paratus) and don't let your pencil-pusher lifestyle stop you from achieving this. Most importantly, prepping is a philosophy; your survival depends on objectivity; not from the influence from punditry and pernicious lies. Pay attention and observe the news with suspicion and objectivity. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/wine-jar-cynics/donations

    WJC Episode 55 Potential Paths to Ideological Fanaticism: Vulerabilities

    Dio and Gene speak about vulnerabilities that can lead you to becoming married to your ideas and or: fanatical, an ideological junkie and even a radical. There are different vulnerabilities: broken homes, situational difficulties, children, people with need for community, low self-esteem, lack of responsibility and success. The solution is to be aware and have a safety net for hard times; family and friends, hobbies and personal passions, focusing on personal projects and goals. But above all, putting ethics above ideology and never put yourself in a position where people can take advantage of your weakness. -G96-1294 Gangs: The New Family (unl.edu) -Without family, U.S. children in foster care easy prey for human traffickers | Reuters -How tech platforms fuel U.S. political polarization and what government can do about it (brookings.edu) -China to regulate tech giants' algorithms in unprecedented move (cnbc.com) -Toronto van attack: Minassian guilty of killing 10 people - BBC News -Teenage boy charged in Canada's first 'incel' terror case - BBC News -The Boy Crisis is a Must Read for Every Parent | SnapDivorce | Blog Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/wine-jar-cynics/donations
