KC & JP discuss how to navigate our current dystopia. Did you know you were living in your favorite dystopian trilogy? Our current world has all the ingredients: human misery, squalor, oppression, disease, poisonous food, noxious air, contaminated water, and of course, too many fucking people. It's easy to get distracted by collapse rabbit holes, but dropping out doesn't mean prepping for the (corporate) zombie apocalypse. It's more about living meaningfully, right now. Resilience is a bonus. But that's easy to forget.
