Wow super interesting, this community sounds pretty ideal in terms of collapse preparedness. Except maybe being in the desert? Do they have enough water? How will climate change impact the region?

But as I spoke with them, I couldn't help but think of all the people that their vision would leave behind.

... anyone who imagines a coming doomsday is faced with a choice: to prepare for it or to play a small part in working to stave it off.

Ah that old chestnut. Journalist say "Won't somebody please think of the masses?" while the news media routinely misinforms the masses and prevents any change. He does it with the framing of the article, trying to guilt people.
