  • Summary

  • "Our economy is going to reorganize itself so severely, and in ways that will be unrecognizable to people who expect… Disney World, trucking, interstate highways, suburban commuting… all the things that are features of our life."— James Howard Kunstler The world is ‌rearranging how we do everything, from how we work to how we purchase things and transport them to how we heat and cool our homes. As my guest says, "we're living in a gigantic, epic, historic train wreck of economy, culture, politics, and expectations." So how do we go on from here? James Howard Kunstler is a prolific author, public speaker, blogger, podcaster, and painter. He's the author of "Living in the Long Emergency" about the "converging catastrophes of the 21st century." You can hear more of his ideas and insights on his Clusterfuck Nation blog, which has fresh content on Mondays and Fridays, and his monthly podcast, the KunstlerCast. James joins me on this episode of The Wiggin Sessions to share his insight into the post-pandemic United States, the end of the techno-industrial age ‌our parents grew up in, and what living in the long emergency means to us as a society. He shares his insight into which areas of the country are headed for disaster and which places will be favorable to make a life in the coming reorganization. Plus, he predicts which industries will flourish and which will see the bottom fall out. Listen in to understand why James says, "the dynamics of failure is underway, and we are going to be in the heart of this thing I call the long emergency," and why "the average person needs to think very clearly about where they're going to plant their flag." Key Takeaways James' take on what living in the long emergency means to society as we know it Why smaller, more agile companies are prime to survive the great reorganization  Why the population in places like Los Angeles and New York will face depletion  The #1 reason people will migrate from their homes to the inland waterway areas of America Why James thinks suburbia the greatest misallocation of resources in the history of the world James shares his insight into why we're seeing such a rapid decline in American influence How the great financial crash of 2008 perpetuated the coming ‘great reckoning’ James offers his new theory of history How the promotion of largely useless vaccines has led to mass formation psychosis What the ferocious French Revolution has in common with what's going on in the left today Why the dishonoring and disgracing in Ivy League institutions is the beginning of the collapse of higher education James shares his insight into why we're becoming a broken nation without a common culture Connect with James Howard Kunstler James Howard Kunstler Clusterfuck Nation KunstlerCast Connect with Addison Wiggin Consilience Financial Be sure to follow The Wiggin Sessions on your socials.
