In this episode we discuss The End Of The World As They Knew It, taking a look at civilizations that collapsed over time and comparing them to our world today.
It's interesting to see how the world ended for those people in the past, and how does that give us indications of the type of things that we should look out for.
There are a large number of different ways that can cause complete societal disruption. And despite our hubris on the point, we are still susceptible to a large selection of those. Let's take a look at them.

We live in a society in which by and large, most of the people in our society are letting the tail wag the dog.
What exactly does that mean, Salty?
Okay, the tail wagging the dog is an old expression, what it basically means is to lose track of what is truly important, and focus on small symptomatic stuff, or stuff that makes no difference whatever is a concentration of there's several different ways that you can describe it.
It's a concentration on the symptoms rather than the root causes.

We're talking here about the kind of what masks most people are wearing today, which are either at least two ply, reasonably well fitting cloth face masks, or garden variety off the shelf.
They're called surgical masks, but I've worn actual surgical mask was caught cost five times as much and fit better. So they're not really surgical masks. They're more like clinical use masks that you can buy fairly cheap but places everywhere from Harbor Freight to Walgreens or whatever. You can buy them lots of places, but they're called surgical masks and they're made of the same kind of material.
That's the kind The stuff we're talking about lightweight, all over the place can get them anywhere these days, garden variety masks, somebodies respiratory droplets of the size that can carry viral particles, or that can carry flu particles or the carry cold viruses, or that carry a whole bunch of other sensitive viruses that only biologists bother to memorize all the names for.
Tthey catch the respiratory droplets that carry those, when you exhale, they catch them with somewhere between 65 and 85% efficiency, depending on the specifics of the masks. So most effective when they're catching stuff coming out of the breathers, respiratory tract.
But also, they're stopping something like 60% of incoming particles that are already in the air that somebody less careful has exhaled at is bringing it in

We are starting a series talking about the physiology of how various systems of the human body work, and how that relates to things that might be important to preppers. And one of the first things I wanted to talk about is blood vessels, because they're really cool pipes.
Not only are they really cool pipes, but they've got some tricks that you can learn to use to your best interest in prepping kinds of situations.
We're doing it with the diagrams because I talk much better about physiology when I can draw really bad diagrams, because that's how I roll.
