Dr. John,

Your observations seem spot on: "Frightened people make big mistakes. We retreat into the safety of the tribe. We choose strongman leaders. We hate other tribes. The result is sustained inter-tribal social, economic, political, and military conflict..." Given that, I am interested in your take on the upcoming Presidential election.

Thanks!

Thank you Byron. The U.S. election is the elephant in the room, isn't it? Contentious to write about, but very important. I will write a piece this week.

Thank you for addressing cash. I look at folks clamoring to buy gold with complete astonishment. Explain how you will buy food or gas or medicine with your gold bar? And just who will decide it’s value in times of crisis? Gather your friends and other tribes into a community of support, keep cash, grow food save seeds. Seeds now that’s a powerful currency with consistent and increasing value👍
