Evolution of Preppers

To define a prepper we need a set of measurable variables, ones that should be grounded in evidence, or at the least be attributable to a known theoretical framework. The later is our pathway to the definition. Our research has led us away from personal and subjective announcements to an evolving framework. We begin with the fact that we live in a technologically enabled, interconnected modern society, where over time, at the macro level residents have traded responsibility for the provision of services to an external agency for renumeration. We have decided not to be responsible to build our own houses, we ask a contractor to do so and then we provide payment. In the past, our ancestors all build their own houses and rebuilt them after disasters.

Join us for a great discussion on the importance of definitions, providing criteria for membership and how to codify different elements of society.
