if the crust comes loose from the mantle of the planet, and the magnetic field alignment, which is in the process of doing a somersault across the whole galaxy in our neck of the woods, the loose crust will act like the needle of a compass and line up with the new, reversed magnetic field, which means 90 degrees turn, in fact

as it cools down, at the same time, once the crust locks back in, it will now have a new rotational angle and the poles will be in different places

because this involves the enormous momentum of the earth's crust rapidly changing from spinning at the current magnetic north, to spinning at the new magnetic north axis, half the ocean will dump all over the land and wash everything away

meanwhile, at the same time, because of the loose crust, probably volcanoes will go nuts, new ones will open up, and earthquakes will shake the hell out of everything else

the only safe places to be in such a situation are where there is a huge amount of weight under your feet, and above average rigidity due to the thickness of the crust above the sea, both for being out of reach of the giant 1km tall tsunamis that are likely to happen, as well as being unlikely to have as much crust displacement from the earthquakes

before this even happens, though, it is likely that the power grids will be repeatedly burned out, repaired, burned out again, and people will just have to get used to wood and coal heating and local transport and probably even a lot less transport because only really diesel engines can operate without electricity... probably steam engines will come back, you can pretty much count on everything going back to mid 19th century conditions for maybe as long as 20 years, but almost certainly a whole decade

so, wherever you are, in addition to the still to come epic mess of a pole shift, there will be panics over the loss of infrastructure, resources, the cities will become hellscapes while all the welfare addicted fatasses on ozempic all starve to death and start eating each other, i mean, idk, there's lots of ways that things can go bad

so, you want to be on high altitude, far from the sea, and far from large amounts of people, and to be able to weather maybe as long as 20 years with steam age tech, at best, so, the disadvantage of the altitude in many locations is the cold, and the relative thin supply of fuel... i personally am a bit torn about it, for sure eastern rockies plateaus are good, and mongolia and southern siberia are good, and even the central balkans, between eastern bosnia and montenegro sorta area are also quite good, i'm just waiting for a signal of which direction to go exactly, it may end up being patagonia, that has been on my mind almost as much as siberia

also, yes, things kick right into gear in 372 days, just over a year away, 25th of June 2025 there is a lunar/solar/jupiter conjunction in the last 1/3rd of Cancer which is predicted in the 2500 year old Vishnu Puranas as marking the "end of the krita age" - it happens also coinciding with the asterism of the pleiades and as you probably have heard of this idea before, our ancient ancestors moved out to the next arm of the galactic spiral out that way, and promised they'd be back for this next cycle

our ancestors thought they were gods, but if you know the stories of cargo cults you might understand how that misunderstanding might arise

so, i don't think there's much to worry about, the guidance will come, i'm pretty sure every single one of us has been assigned a counterpart watcher and we are being drip fed the necessary information to make the right steps

almost everyone will think i'm crazy for believing these things though
