Epic article. I was really glad to hear you say this,
"I've become fully convinced that we as individuals can't stop this cycle any more than we could stop a tsunami by getting into the ocean."
As it mirrors my own evolving thinking. From too often feeling bad bc I'm not doing enough to try and stop this derailed shitshow, to accepting that some things are well and truly beyond any one individual's control. And that being the case, one might as well be happy.
Also, the term Giffen is completely new to me, so cheers for that.
Thank you, Sam! I took a risk in saying that because it sounded a little defeatist in my head. Some things are under our control and some we have to react to. The current dynamic is an example of the latter.
I feel exactly the same way. It does sound defeatist and I don't like it, but it's also a nearly unchangeable reality. We simply have to ram the iceberg, it would appear. So be it. Might as well enjoy the view along the way.
I agree 💯 The most important thing is probably to stay or become healthy and fit.
And love “bugging in” vs out.
Thank you
