HomeGrownHumans - Nick Farr - Preparedness - Hosted by Jamie Wheal

Nick Farr, author of The Long Disaster, a manifesto of preparedness, joins us to share a message of hope amongst our present meta-crisis and an unexpected link between the skills needed to survive and the Burning Man culture. With each hurricane, earthquake or armed conflict, the fragility of our systems becomes evident while the consequences of their failure bleeds across borders. The solution? Nick proposes closing the gap in six crucial areas:

Psychological
Skills
Resources
Communication
Community
Empathy

Being anti-fragile is about being prepared to take the hits you can't see coming and then learning from those hits. - Nick Farr

It’s a timely and moving discussion we’re confident you will love it as much as we have. Tune in now.

Jamie and his guest support the exclusive narrative, preumably off-the-radar yet in the exclusive cut (given the social media resoponse) to support their exceptionalist perspective that, given their position as semi-woke intellectuals free from the burdens of the common man, their interactions with the indepedent elite in the u.s. gives them a license to speak on the culture's behalf as if they're somehow incorporated into the priveleged through the burning of a strawman. A fucking psychedelic trip in the desert or the mountains doesn't elevate you to make decisions on behalf of the working class in the states.
