In today’s rapidly changing world, preserving and accessing knowledge is a sensible thing to think about. One invaluable resource for this is the Survivor Library, a comprehensive collection of public domain books that detail how every part of society is made. From agriculture to engineering, these books offer timeless wisdom on building and maintaining the foundations of civilization.
Beyond traditional books, storing large language models (LLMs) is a another self-sovereign way to access most of humanity’s knowledge in a very compact digital format. Self soveregn just means that to use it relies only on yourself and what you securely have. These models can store vast amounts of information, providing a powerful tool for education and problem-solving even in totally financeless situations such as a collapse.
To facilitate communication without relying on the internet, radio software like Meshtastic offers a simple solution for local messaging. Meshtastic enables users to create a mesh network for local communication, while high-frequency (HF) radio can be used internationally to keep us connected across the globe. Combined with the tools above we can provide most of the features of the internet without using the internet at all.
To protect these technologies from potential threats like electromagnetic pulses, it would be advised to cache them in a grounded metal cage, such as an earthed metal dustbin. Perhaps inside your bunker with your food cache. This simple step ensures that our access to vital resources and knowledge cannot be taken from you if your trust with your local community remains upstanding. Everything remains secure, no matter what challenges we face.
By combining the Survivor Library, LLM models, food caches, action preparedness bags, and bunkers, and resilient communication technologies, we can safeguard humanity’s collective wisdom for future generations.
