Before I even read the second section I feel compelled to link to Tears For Fears', "Everybody Wants To Rule The World", which must already have been playing in your mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGCdLKXNF3w

But nobody can … a great song

The money is likely to revert to a gold standard when the current system, trust already stretched very thin, breaks and the Ponzi scheme of unserviceable-debts/investments implodes from something like what the events of this year threaten...

Russia is the most autarchic country, and the US is #2, but not a really close #2, having become dependent upon imports to increase profits.

China has a long history of everybody obeying and working as a coordinated unit until the governement "loses the mandate of heaven" and there is open rebellion. The CCP never lets that slip from consciousness.

I am really looking for something to come along and break the Worldwide Web, something like a Carrington-event, for instance.

I want to secure my basic necessities, and those of my kids and grandkids, as well as is feasible.

All of this technical scope and complexity has that Achilles heel.
