Thanks. I'd never heard of that law before. I think he's serious. I'll appreciate his work both pre and pos civilisation collapse. I like his software aesthetic too.

Maybe I'm getting old, maybe I'm seeking more control, maybe the world has come needlessly complex, but there's a certain appeal about returning to more manageable days, where it was possible to fit a software and hardware system in your brain, and your brain was swimming with ideas on how to use a limited system rather than drowning in layers of complexity.

I liked playing the Fallout games, I grew up with 8 bit machines, so I'm all in at using a post-apocalyptic scenario as a setup for a though experiment tech stack. In a "ha ha only serious" manner.

But on the other hand, real preppers scare the effing s out out of me.
