What Collapse Compass Is. And Isn’t.
You showed up. That counts for something.
I won’t waste your time with a manifesto. If you’re here, you already feel it—the crack running through the U.S., the quiet ungluing of jobs, savings, trust, and streets. You don’t need another headline to tell you it’s real. You need direction. That’s what this compass is for: a map of where the break lines run, and how deep they go.
What It Is
Collapse Compass tracks the United States across four terrains: social, financial, institutional, psychological. It marks the fractures. Some are hairline. Some are wide open. Each report lays out the stages by domain, built on patterns, not vibes.
It’s structured by Jefferson, who you’ll hear from sparingly, and narrated by someone still walking through it (me).
You’ll get the reports, the wreckage, the translation. Sometimes clean. Sometimes not. But always real.
What It Isn’t
- This isn’t camouflage cargo pants rehearsal
- This isn’t a TED Talk on resilience
- This isn’t a place to be reassured
- It won’t tell you what to do. It won’t tell you everything will be fine. It won’t give you the dopamine drip of daily outrage or the false calm of motivational grit
- If you want hope, grow it yourself. All I’ve got is a flashlight and a field journal
What You’ll Get
- Free collapse scans
- Optional paid reports
- Relocation advisories for those who still have options
- Dispatches when something shakes loose
- Vignettes from the ground when numbers aren’t enough
- No ads. No noise. No reruns
Welcome to Collapse Compass.
Take what you need. Leave the rest.
Until next time,
