regarding this idea that semiconductors or electric grids accelerated anything, that's nonsense, what is clear though is that in the current situation, such technologies being the primary dependency of human society is a very bad idea

first, the microwave radios will be the first to go, they are low hanging fruit for a decaying magnetic field and the lowest voltage required to destroy them virtually everywhere, in terms of an ~X20 solar event

second, the power grids themselves will fail in the event of an X30, and X40 they are pretty much gonna be mostly gone

regarding the microwave radios, IMO it's a given that at some point in the future soon, maybe in the next 10 years, the solar flares and weakening field will make then unviable technology, and for the most part copper wire networks will only work where they are STP or buried a metre ungerground at least, and realistically, in 15 years we colud be in a situation where only optic fibre survives this, and electronic devices above ground have to be shielded with tin to prevent failure due to X/Gamma rays

but when shtf all bets are off, it could be a decade or more of zero functioning of electronic devices at all, we will be entirely dependent on burning carbon and animal muscles

so, i think the smart move is to get into place at a high altitude, far from sea location in the next 5 years, and to build structures that are shielded from radiation (literally tin foil) and set up food production right nearby, and stash a shit-ton of excess, so produce as much as you can, sell much of it but turn as much as possible into 5+ year storables, stashed in a shielded underground cache that you clear out every winter to keep it cycling until some exceptional cold/wet/snow type event that may mean you are stuck living off it for 2 years straight

it's not funny, and it's not a joke, and there is many hints that maybe our ancient ancestors already figured this out and are sitting up there watching us and ready to help us out, but i think it's not sane to not think about this and move to the safe places, low population, high altitude, distant from oceans, and get into animal husbandry asap

when i think about it in light of what bible prophecy says about bad guys hiding in the mountains and the mountains falling on them is quite interesting though

i mean, all of this science is pretty much cut an dried as far as i can tell, we are gonna go through this in the next 50 years and some of us are gonna survive, probably

but it should be pointed out that ~75000 years ago an event occurred in which only ~5000 humans actually survived

and it's not infeasible that we could see such a similarly intense cycle this time

and it's not prudent to trust in our cousins in space to evac us, even if they mean well

which means that the number one criteria one should look at for where to go, is where are the least number of people

the more people, the higher risk of people related bullshit, ie, psychopaths with too much influence and resources in their control

this one thing puts me squarely in the feasibility of siberia as the best possible location, because it's already very sparsely populated, it's physically the best position in terms of not being washed away, the people there are very down to earth, even their popstars sing about spirituality lol, and the population density is so low

i've been trying to figure out what to do but after this thinking and new information i'm more and more of the opinion that i want to be in southern siberia, near the plateau of mongolia, in the high mountains
