... the ex wall street algorithm writer is 100% convinced that the economy is going to crash, so much so that he moved here and bought a rural farmette to drop off the grid on...

This is the one I'm interested in. I read a lot of prepper fiction and the sunspot thing, natural EMP, doesn't interest me or seem plausible (I know, it really did happen in 1972 or something close). I'm more interested in human-caused failure cascades, from terrorism or war or ---- financial collapse, and this last is the one I really believe in.

I read the Wall Street Journal, and they have articles on how worried the big banks are about major hacks that just shut it all down. They have trouble enough with the millions they lose in regular hacks every year.
 
He writes algorithms for a living, and tried to explain some of it to me, but that was a wasted effort lol. He said he could show me mathematically that within 10 years something has to give. We all know we cant just keep printing money, what he tried to explain was more specific than that, I'm sorry I cant explain it better. At any rate, he is a really smart guy, who was (he still does freelance work) deep into the nuts and bolts of trading, and he says it is all a house of cards held up by low interest rates from the FED. He gets animated talking about it, he really encourages me to get my financial affairs in order, not for a terrific future and awesome Cabo retirement, but so that I can get set up for a sharp crash, and a National crisis, then a long slow decline along the lines of the great depression.

That's his take. He is pretty convincing, honestly. I mean, he left a huge house and pretty fabulous lifestyle to live in an old farmhouse that has water, acreage, and orchards. Hugelculture, sustainability, he is into all that. Real prepper. His wife...not so on board.
 
Glad to hear there’s at least one other person left that’s not on Facebook! This site is enough of an addiction for me!
I too am not worried about anyone spying on me since I’m not into illegal activities. I do find it disturbing though. I don’t like the idea of every word recorded and then used out of context by someone with less than honorable intentions.

Another no-Faceplanter here too.
I also think it's not so much the snooping per se, more the fact that they do at all.
 
I've never been stupid enough to put enough of my personal life on the internet for people to connect the dots. Even if they did, it's hardly the end of the world, I'm very boring and hardly worthy of the effot.
 
My daughter thought I was crazy when I refused to get on Assbook. My son, however, saw things the same way I did.

All of my suspicion have been confirmed...
