00:00:00.000Quite juicy, to be honest. Greetings, my esteemed laddingtons. I have read a book. Well, I haven't read all of it. It's quite thick and also quite juicy. It's Piero San Giorgio's latest book.
00:00:17.480And before I begin to talk about this book, I can just recommend his previous book, Survive the Economic Collapse. I don't have it here because a good friend has borrowed it, but I'll make a separate book review on that later on because it is very interesting. I mention it in my own book, Dauntless, as well.
00:00:35.160And I would say that you can read the two in relation to each other because the first one deals with, as the name suggests, an economic collapse.
00:00:46.280And this book deals with, yeah, as also the name suggests, chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear events. So, you know, a lot of bad things that might happen.
00:01:01.800And I will also talk about Guillaume Phi's, the convergence of catastrophes, in another video. But basically, that concept is, you know, if something happens and something else happens at the same time.
00:01:14.720So you have now a coronavirus outbreak and the economy goes down the drain at the same time. So it's a convergence of two catastrophes, obviously interlinked as well.
00:01:27.320But if a lot of things happen at the same time, it may cause the whole system to collapse.
00:01:33.840And I've said this before, I'll say it again, and I'm hardly the first one to say it either.
00:01:38.840Piero has talked about this for a very long time, you know, that our system is very fragile.
00:01:44.320So the political solution for that is to, you know, focus more on the local economy.
00:01:49.120But I've talked enough about that. Now I want to talk about the book.
00:01:52.760And also, last thing before I get into the book.
00:01:55.720Piero did an interview with me on his channel a while back, about two years ago, I think.
00:02:01.020You can check it out. I will link it in the description box below as well.
00:02:06.420Now, I said I haven't read all of it because it's not really a book you need to read from, you know, beginning to the end.
00:02:15.740You can just, as I did, go directly to the biological part because, obviously, as we are quarantined and in isolation now,
00:02:23.980not really in isolation, but I say it for dramatic effect, I went to the biological part.
00:02:30.360Now, of course, the chemical and radiological and nuclear are also interesting.
00:02:36.420But not as relevant at this moment in time, and I wanted to get this video done quickly enough.
00:02:42.860And it's quite thick, and it's a lot to deal with.
00:02:47.440Also, a special shout-out to Arctos, who always manages to make the most aesthetic of books very aesthetic.
