An old school friend contacted me after 25 years wanting to talk about how he was bullied at school. My initial thought was that it was me that was the bully. I went to an all boys school where everyone bullied everyone. It turns out I wasn't the bully but the fact that I thought I could have been was surprising, considering I'm a complete pussy.
Also, the first kid who ever punched me in the face was there when I was given the cane in front of the class at the age of nine. He remembers it vividly which is surprising because he doesn't remember that time he punched me in the face.
Bullying is a product of fear. Everyone is scared of shit, especially me, but if I let fear control me I start making stupid decisions. Living in fear is no way to survive the impending collapse of civilisation. If I'm going to be a survivor I'm going to need to work on that.

I've seen glimpses of civilisation beginning to unravel and they're happening more and more often. It started with bogans brawling over toilet paper in the supermarket during COVID lockdown. Since then these little portals into an apocalyptic future have been popping up more and more regularly.
This is the first episode in a rebooted Poorly Thought Through series. If you were a PTT fan when I worked one public broadcaster or another you will notice a massive reduction in rugby content. To be honest I'm done with rugby until the yellow team learns how to play again. But these are the same preposterous thought processes that got me started years ago.

As the world descends into a super slow motion apocalypse, this episode takes a light hearted look at how to survive. This series replaces Reasons Not to Die which is going on the shelf for a happier time. Join me for a happy stroll towards what appears to be the end of the world as we know it, but like Lenny Bruce, I'm not afraid. We will talk to people who seem to have it all sorted out, although they probably don't. If you like podcasts like This American Life and 99% Invisible you'll probably find them on this app too. Poorly Thought Through is nothing like them.
