Did you run out of toilet roll in the first panic buying spree of 2020?
I’ve never met anyone who did.
Are you queueing for a petrol station to protect yourself against the panic buying which you are contributing to and the apparent lack of petrol.
Safety is a myth.

So, after the carnage of the past 24 months most people are doing everything they can to insulate themselves so that they can crawl away into their house at night and watch Netflix and eat carbohydrate sh*t probably in front of a log fire now that it is getting darker.
And so, we accept ‘our lead role in a cage’.
Please don’t think this is a judgement post, it isn’t, I feel exactly the same urges as everybody else.
I want to stockpile pasta and toilet roll and flour and money and wood and petrol.
And of course, as is always the way, the opposite is actually the way to go.
The answer in situations like this is to be brave, the answer is to push yourself outside of your comfort zone and contribute and produce and help others and be a shining light in a world where everybody thinks they can insulate themselves from everything else.
Our attitudes to risk have altered significantly in the past 24 months.
The majority of people that I see just want to protect themselves and their bank accounts and their nuclear bubble.
I will try as hard as I can to not fall into that trap because that is a slow road to death.
