As I make plans for the video content I’m going to make for my YouTube channel, it would be helpful if I knew more about what others are planning related to this. Is this something you’ve been thinking about and planning for? Or are you frustrated because you don’t know what to do?

If you believe — as I do — that our culture is heading toward political, social and economic collapse, I’d like to know how that affects you. Are you making active plans to protect yourself and your family? Do you plan to stay in this country or move abroad? Or do you know something’s wrong but aren’t sure how to plan for it?

Whatever your interest in the subject, it would be helpful to hear from you if it’s a serious concern in any way. This video takes about three minutes to explain how you can help me.

For more than seven years now, I’ve been living in a cage — but the cage always had an open door. I could fly away anytime I wanted.

But I didn’t want to leave the cage. I was waiting for a woman I loved. I was waiting for someone else to change. I lied to myself. I angrily told myself — at times — that I wasn’t waiting for her. But something in me believed — against all evidence — that she was going to be the love I needed. Any day now. And so I waited and waited, wasting years of my life.

I can admit that to myself now. What’s been harder to admit is that I’ve been making excuses for behavior that hurt me. I would have told anybody else that her behavior showed she didn’t care and wouldn’t care, not in the ways that her words had said she did.

But I needed to believe in her. I needed to believe in her love. So I made excuses for her.

OK, so it’s an exaggeration to say I want to talk to you about the end of the world. I’m not really a street preacher telling you that the end is near. But I’ve been clear for a long time that I believe our own dysfunctional culture is heading toward inevitable collapse — socially, economically and politically.

Sometime last year, I announced plans to relaunch my YouTube channel as DavidMcElroy.TV, with video content discussing what we need to do to prepare for that future. But I didn’t do it. I explained the reasons in detail here, but I’m finally making a short video to talk about it.

On the spur of the moment, I made a quick and dirty video just to share my current thinking with you. I made it in one take, with absolutely no preparation. The background has a wrinkle in it and that needs to be fixed before I record more, but I didn’t want to give myself another excuse tonight to delay.

So click below if you’d like to hear what’s on my mind about the video that I still need to launch — whether I’m ready or not.
