This is a free guide born of a conversation I had with AI, mostly ChatGPT. (I also had Claude do a quick double-check.) I don’t know how complete some of the info is – AI tends to leave holes big enough to drive a truck through — but I found it really useful. It helps me consider things I hadn’t thought about before, and it helps me understand some of the bigger systems that come into play, as well as the daily attentions to detail that are going to be crucially important in various societal collapse scenarios.
I was impressed with the recurrent focus on community as the driving force in survival of so many types of challenges. Hopefully, AI isn’t just hallucinating that theme! I do believe that the time for urgently forming intentional communities and the time for neighborhoods urgently getting together (and getting it together) is now. — Gayla Groom
