Weekend Knowledge Dump- October 25, 2013

 

Here are a few links to articles and videos I found interesting this week. Some are intellectual. Some are informative. Some are just fun. If you have some free time, check them out this weekend.

The Disaster Myth Narrative: No One Panics, No One Loots, No One Goes Hungry

pmx0306katrina019_large-mdn

 

Have you heard of the “Disaster Myth?”  It’s the mainstream media idea that chaos and predation doesn’t really happen after natural disasters.  In the mainstream narrative, people always help each other through such crises peacefully.  While I’m hesitant to allow the mainstream media to construct ANY narrative for me, I think that more often than not, it is correct.  MOST people are peaceful and help their neighbors.  But SOME people are predators, and you need to be prepared for them.
