    You right that people cannot adapt to anything. I think our species can adapt (or alter the environment) to survive many crises. I think some individuals are more adaptable than others.

    I guess to the extent the steps were practical adaptations to the world one actually lives in: save cash, learn things relevant to one's profession to be as hirable as possible (maybe not with 50% unemployment!) - it's one thing. But preparing for some hypothetical world that doesn't exist, learn to garden land one doesn't own, learn skills of little relevance to one's current life (and not even of income producing potential in one's current life!), for a world that may never be. Meh, burned out.

    Oh I learn stuff sometimes for interest but it's of little monetary or survival use in this or any world. I have a natural connection with and love for plants but it doesn't make me a master gardener. I know practical skills but they are things like cooking my dinner (which does not a professional chef make) - it's very much for the world of the here and now.
