Hi, I love your work and thank you for this podcast. Your discussion of reliance on systems to solve our problems for us is an important one. We need to think about the role of systems and our mature (maturing?) roles within them. The example of the young woman who was uncomfortable because of male competitiveness in her environment is an example, in my view, highlights a serious problem in how the role of systems is understood. Contrast that example with instances in which secretaries were chased around desks, which was commonly joked about half a century ago. That was a problem within the system. Have you thought of doing a podcast comparing these understandings of systems, their roles in our lives, and our roles within them?
Being a SP lead, I’ve been preparing for this for years?
I make all my own cleaning/body products, I have months worth of dehydrated fruits and vegetables so I have snacks to last us for a year or so, a cupboard full of cut up baby grows and clothes that I use as cloths to clean and wash the dishes so I’m totally fine if the toilet paper situation gets much worse.
Doing and making these things wasn’t necessarily for an incoming apocalypse but for environmental and financial purposes…. also just making things and providing for myself makes me happy.
I live in a fairly small town in the south west of England that is pretty community oriented.
Restaurants and cafes have closed but the majority of them are offering a delivery service (too rural for Uber here). The supermarkets remain open but are running quite low on supplies, as well as no toilet paper I have been unable to get nappies so I am trying to use quarantine productivity and currently undertaking potty training (not myself obviously).
The schools officially closed today. People that run yoga/dance classes etc have moved them online so that they can still run the classes for their clients. People are doing shopping runs for the elderly and vulnerable members of the community.
As it’s pretty rural, there are plenty of places for us to going walking in nature.
For now we are doing ok, I take one day at a time and try not to overthink how things are going to turn out, at least until I get used to our new routine.
If you’re going to advocate for people to use the PH book for toilet paper, I suggest you offer complimentary butt cream with sales or you could face law suits…. that sounds painful?
Sending good vibes to the both of you too!
I get it! At one point in the podcast when we talk about people hoarding TP and other things I say, “Those people are dicks” cause I totally agree with you. :D

I’m surprised that was the message we conveyed, as it certainly wasn’t our intent our outlook.
Quite honestly, I don’t think I even could be fully self-sufficient in the way you’re articulating without years of skill development (nor do I think most of us could be). Neither Joel or I is self-pres first (he’s sp repressed, I’m sp second), so this is more of a “hey, maybe we should at least acknowledge how dependent we are on these systems and take stock of the situation” rather than a call for all out Mad Max panic. Which would not be ‘keeping calm’. :p

Sorry, I didn’t intend to sound negative!
When I heard you guys promoting self-sufficiency, I think I imagined people using it as an excuse to hoard resources, or take other isolationist or highly selfish actions. That said, I know you also encouraged people not to do that at the start of the podcast.
I certainly agree with the overall message of becoming aware of our dependencies, addressing them (as much as is reasonable), and minimizing panic.
