“There are two basic pathways to systemic collapse: external shocks or internal decay. The two are not mutually exclusive, of course; it can be argued that the most common path is internal decay weakens the empire/state and an external shock pushes the rotted structure off the cliff.” – Charles Hugh Smith [1]

This quote relates directly to systemic collapse of the human body. Many of us will have our SHTF moment on a personal level rather than societal one.

Carry on
