What a smart human must do to save himself in the coming distopian society they made up for us.
Let me be blunt;
The next years will not be about comfort, but about self imposed balance. Not about panic, but about lucidity. Not about theories, but about what you do concretely with your life.
The next 10 years are not apocalyptic years. They are years of natural selection. Whoever enters unprepared, gets hurt. Whoever enters with a clear head, moves on.
The first thing you need to understand is that debt makes you a slave. Not tomorrow, not at a certain moment in the future.
Now.
In the world to come, the man with installments, leases, credit cards and useless subscriptions is no longer free. He is caught in a vice that is slowly tightening.
That is why the first step is brutally simple: cut your debts off. One by one. Not for the bank sake. For yourself. Freedom begins the day you no longer owe anyone anything.
And is not free.
Second thing: the kind of world where you had a job, a salary and the illusion of stability is already over. It died without a memorial service.
In the years to come, a single income means vulnerability. You need two, ideally three income sources. A main job, yes. But also a secondary skill, a parallel activity, something that produces money without depending on a single boss or a single system. It doesn't matter what. What matters is not to be left with your hand outstretched if one falls.
Government safety net... an illusion they mantain to keep you in check, and if that is no longer benefiting them... is gone together with the money you have put in it mandatory all the years you paid taxes.
And here we get to the essential: the skills. Not the diploma. Not the title. The real skill.
There are three types of skills that survive any crisis: the human ones, the technical ones and the practical ones. If you know how to talk to people, negotiate, organize, teach others, you don't starve. If you understand technology, automation, AI, data, you are in demand. If you know how to repair, build, grow, do something with your hands, you will always have value.
Stop watching movies, start watching tutorials, and than try to see if you can do that yoursef.
Those who only know how to “get hired” and "hold to a job" will be the first ones to be sacrificed.
Then comes the family. No, we are not living in apocalyptic movies. But there will be shocks. That is why, not out of fear, but out of reason, you need minimal stocks: food for a few days, water, basic medicine, batteries, cash, a list of contacts, clear routines for the children.
Not to hide, but so as not to panic when others do.
And there is something else that people underestimate: community. The individual alone breaks down. The isolated family exhausts itself. The nation without communities falls apart.
You need a few reliable people. Not many. Three to five are enough. Neighbors, friends, people with whom you can build something real. Nobody goes through hard times alone.
On the financial side, the rule is one: don't put everything in one place.
Not just the bank, do you know how many people got de-banked last year alone for saying something, or for re-tweeting some meme... Not just cash, and the cash itslef not a single currency, have more than one. Not just crypto, extrmelly volatile just like money held in any bank. Not just property, taxable, confiscable, government knows you have it, so is like they have it whenever they see fit to confiscate it. You mix valubles, especially untraceable ones. You divide in more locations, different countries, various jurisdictions. You expose yourself partially everywhere, but not tottaly in a single place. Those who diversify never go completely down. You might lose some, or in some country, but stay afloat in the others.
But the safest investment remains the one in yourself. Everything can disappear: money, systems, structures, properties.
What you know cannot be taken away from you. Real education, mental development, psychology, foreign languages, social skills, understanding of technology and the world — these remain.
Next comes the part that many ignore: the mind.
Systems can collapse. But the disciplined, calm, lucid person, who does not get dragged into the hysteria of the crowd, thrives.
Reduce media consumption. Do not let yourself be emotionally manipulated. Learn to recognize propaganda (on both sides). Do not feed on panic. The mind is the shield. Not the body.
At some point, you will also have to get out of false identities. Politics, labels, sterile arguments, useless comparisons, religions. All this empties you. Return to the simple questions: who are you, what do you want, what are you capable of, what is truly yours.
And we come to the area that the world avoids, but which decides everything: the soul.
The old world is collapsing, and dirty souls fall with it. Lies, betrayal, hatred, envy, manipulation, laziness — all of these drag a person down. A pure soul attracts pure realities. Not mystical. Practical. True spirituality is not a show. It is not TikTok. It is not an internet guru. It is silence, prayer, tradition, morality, heavy books, wise people. In a world without landmarks, this becomes the most solid shield.
Strategically speaking, you do not fall in love with empires. Neither the USA, nor Russia, nor China, nor the EU, nor the BRICS. They are all transient structures. The intelligent person does not get emotionally attached.
They adapt. They looks for the real advantage. Go with the flow without losing your backbone.
If we were to compress everything into one page, it would sound like this: live debt-free, have more income streams, develop real skills, build community, do not depend on the state, have minimal reserves, diversify, discipline your mind, cultivate spirituality, adapt, do not panic, do not victimize yourself.
The man who will live well in 2026–2036 will be neither the richest, nor the most vocal, nor the most aggressive. He will be the most balanced, lucid and pure in soul.
The rest… will consume themselves into oblivion.
