Why should there be a way of life to rule the world? How about a bunch of different ways to live?
Quite true. Seems reasonable to me....I hereby will advocate anyone and everything living as they please, with no judgments made as to which is "good" or "bad" or best. To each there own, from those cowering in the forests to those who become Amish to technotopians living in PV powered houses driving PV powered cars.

I could wax on for HOURS!
But ever since I experienced the 1979 peak oil, my preps have been much more mundane than the farmers, bunker diggers, gold bugs, or those who hide in the woods waiting for their real estate to appreciate more than the Mcmansion around the corner.
For me its all been about education, professional experience, not falling for the consumer lifestyle, and conservation at every opportunity, with a few notable luxury exceptions of course.
