Executive Summary
- Confidence in the US is eroding, and as goes sentiment, as goes stability
- Expect covid-19 to deliver more nasty surprises
- Prepare for higher inflation and supply chain breakdowns
- Joining the PP movement is much better than facing what’s coming alone

The US is deteriorating fast. It can’t even manage the simplest of tasks: getting sufficient PPE to its front-line health care workers and explaining to its own citizens why wearing masks is in their own individual and collective best interests.
Will other countries continue to accept the US dollar and trust it as a ‘store of value’? Increasingly, the answer seems to be “no”:

Why is this full report restricted to Peak Prosperity’s premium subscribers? Two main reasons:
One — we reserve our best analysis and most directive guidance for the paying members whose financial support makes operating this site possible. Also, given that some of this material is our “best guess” thinking or can be overly revealing of the details of my personal actions, I’m only willing to share that with this private audience. I wouldn’t feel comfortable having that level of speculative/private information out in the public realm.
And Two — one of the many benefits of premium membership is closer access to the experts on this site.

Vision Elements
As many Peak Prosperity readers are aware, I’m working closely with a few of you behind the scenes on wrestling a lot of ideas expressed on this site into a grand vision of a model for a new and better way of living — one that improves upon the many unsustainable and failing elements of the current status quo.
The idea to which I am now most keenly attracted, and which is drawing so much of my attention, concerns being in a community dedicated to regeneration. For the land, for each of us as individuals, for each other, and especially for the all the generations to come.
There’s a bottomless amount of work to be done. The task is relentless. And it’s rewarding and meaningful.
I’m reading many excellent books and articles and doing what I do best, which is to sift through a lot of information, enough so that a coherent distillation can be created and then shared.
Here are the gleanings so far… (Enroll now to continue reading)

One the most personally meaningful podcast interviews we’ve done over the years was Our Evolutionary Need For Community, recorded with Peabody award-winning author Sebastian Junger.
Since recording our initial interview with Sebastian, we’ve often shared the insights from it with the Peak Prosperity tribe at live events and in our writings. So this week we decided to reconnect with Sebastian, and hear how his thoughts and conclusions on the topic have evolved since we last talked with him.
It’s clear that he believes more than ever that the future prosperity of our society will be rooted in rediscovering how to create and foster the communal bonds our tribal ancestors lived by. And that begins by taking an honest look at the narratives, behaviors, and modern conveniences and temptations that keep us trapped in unhappy, unhealthy isolation.

Executive Summary
- Urgency is needed, as society’s alarm bells aren’t working
- The most important charts of all
- Recent learnings on resilience relocation
- When a culture becomes desperate, it reacts desperately. No one wins.
If you have not yet read Part 1: Getting Real About Green Energy, available free to all readers, please click here to read it first.
What seems to be true is that humanity is in the early innings of a great transition. Losing access to abundant energy will change more things that you or I can appreciate at this time.
The future is barreling towards us at a furious pace. And the pace of that change is accelerating.
It’s time to freak out a bit. To get serious about protecting ourselves. To make different decisions and reorganize our priorities.
If you understand energy and its relationship to the economy the way I do, you’d share my urgency to create community and develop a resilient homestead. My goal here is to nudge you towards action.
Here’s what has me so concerned right now. These charts clearly show the… (Enroll now to continue reading)

Executive Summary
- Our complex economy is poised for a forced, painful simplification
- The urgency to prepare for this inevitable Tipping Point
- The actions I’m taking right now in my own life to prepare for this
If you have not yet read Part 1: Overdosing On Crazy Pills, available free to all readers, please click here to read it first.
In the coming years and decades there will be hell to pay for society failing to properly assess the risks and re-align its priorities and activities accordingly.
Collectively, our human nature is sabotaging us. That’s my conclusion after exploring the biological underpinnings, as well as the limitations and realities, of our genetic programming.
Since humans are wired for optimism, and strongly discount the future for the present, then short-term decision making is what we’ll get.
Unfortunately, we need long-term decision making. But because that’s currently ‘out of stock’ in today’s society, you need to do what you can at your own personal level.
As I am fond of saying, when it comes to decision-making, I have great faith in individuals but almost no faith in groups.
People, I trust. Groups, not so much.
The larger the group involved, the more suspect it becomes. I’ll bet the founders of Google had the best of ‘non-evil’ intentions when they began. But now the behemoth is busy spying for the government, helping to weaken and overthrow various foreign governments that are unfriendly to western business interests, and helping to rig domestic elections.
Two guys doing pretty good. Big giant powerful company becomes evil. Stop me if you’ve heard that one before…
So the following steps — which I’m taking myself — are critical to… (Enroll to keep reading)
