This thread is NOT about your opinion of probable SHTF triggers. Please don't go there.
It is about methods of focus. While I am 99.999% opposed to any reliance on Artificial Intelligence (AI) I suspect that (AI) would have value for creating a "short" list to look at like one daily looks at the weather forecast.
I still remember somethings that were on my short list of SHTF fears back in the mid 1950's. Nearly all seem silly now. My point is way far back we each had our individual shot list of awful things we might encounter at any moment.
As focused as I am on probable SHTF events that could affect me (directly or indirectly) I am still surprised when a new one enters my awareness. What "shocks" me is that instantly after my first noticing that new to me thing (possible trigger) I realize it has been lurking for weeks or months. I simply failed to grant it any significance.
