Modern society is more fragile than most people realize.
What happens when modern systems fail?
In this episode, Drew Miller, author of Preparing to Survive in the Age of Collapse, joins us to examine the real vulnerabilities facing society—from fragile power grids and cascading infrastructure failures to existential biological threats and continuity-of-government planning that most civilians never hear about.
Drawing on decades of military and strategic planning experience, Miller breaks down what “collapse” actually means, how close modern societies may already be to systemic failure, and—most importantly—what individuals and communities can do right now to build resilience and prepare for what comes next.
This conversation touches on societal collapse, infrastructure failure, grid vulnerability, continuity of government, emergency preparedness, resilience planning, and survival strategy in an age of uncertainty.
Topics discussed include:
– 30 ways the government is trying to kill us all.
- Power grid vulnerabilities and cascading failures
– Biological and existential threat scenarios
– Continuity of government and emergency planning
– Individual and community preparedness
– What “collapse” really means—and what it doesn’t
What do you think is the most fragile system in modern society?

“Earth was plan B. It’s where the Martians escaped thousands of years ago when their own planet was about to be destroyed,” Marino replies as if it’s commonly known.
No doubt he learned this and more from All Things Unexplained, Ancient Aliens or one of his other favorite podcasts and TV shows. He and my sister both tune in religiously, and it makes for lively dinner conversations when all of us are together.
