Toward a lifeboat strategy
As things are falling apart (current floods, fires wars, and loss of faith, many will turn of necessity to the next meal, the next drink, the next place to yield to sleep. Most of these people will also be highly. Aware of the attitudes of others. The lifeboat strategy - finding viable places to do all this - will frame the issues occupying people. The videos we are shown of floods only show the hours when a little food and drink are still available but may not still be, as the cameras have left by tomorrow.
Those people must start scrambling to make it through the next day.
If we are wise we must see that our actions now can increase the viability of these places left where humans can survive. It takes a lot of imagination to see what people will be against.
In war, it is often (Napoleon, Hitler, and Puttin) the logistical (to support human beings) failings that lost the war
I think you are making a lot of sense.
