9. The Perils of Convenience: Discussing Resiliency with Doer and Thinker Mike Jones of Resilient Tomorrow

Mike Jones - Resilient Tomorrow on Substack Anarcasper on SubstackVanilla Club on SubstackWith the introduction of our own Substack, we are introducing a short run of episodes with Substackers whose writing that we admire. We came across Mike Jones' Substack 'Resilient Tomorrow' through his striking article - 'Convenience is the Cage'. In this article, Mike prompts us to reconsider what wealth really means, from shifting our perspective of wealth as money, to wealth as access and strong communities.This "redefining of narrative" is one the seven pillars in Mike's key framework that he shares in the episode. Mike's aim is to provide his audience with steps for "exiting the system" that are actually approachable. He found that many are quick to diagnose the problem - yet few provide solutions that feel realistic or achievable. And at it's core, these solutions centre around sharing knowledge and building community.Mike takes us through a little bit of his journey over the past decade that brought him to this turning point, or “exit ramp”, as he would put it. His tech background has provided him with a unique approach that we really appreciate, which is marrying classic community ideals with modern technology.We hope you enjoy.
