#risk assessment and management

[creature-wizard]

So, I've noticed that a lot of people into activism and politics here just don't really have a good grasp on the concept of risk management, which is incredibly important to understand if you want to be effective. So I went and found the videos that I learned about risk assessment from back in the day.

Sixteen years ago, wonderingmind42 explained risk assessment in seven short videos. (Back in these days, free users couldn't upload videos longer than ten minutes.) Although he's specifically talking about risk assessment in the context of spending money to reduce the impact of climate change, the principles described here are applicable to every decision in life.

Helena: (whispering in myka's ear) You just say the word, my love.

Myka: (whispering back) Is this your idea of sweet talk?

Helena: (still whispering) I'm certainly excited about the prospect of avenging Leena's unjust murder.

Myka: (sighing) Just... play nice.

Helena: Nice was Leena's job. Abigail's taken it on just fine. Let's hope Artie doesn't murder her, too.

Myka: The Regents agreed, it wasn't him. They agreed that he wasn't himself. They've accepted that.

Helena: And I'm not a Regent. Nor are you. He wasn't himself? He wasn't anybody else either. Leena died by his hand for whatever decisions he made leading to the moment he... did what he did. How can you just..

Myka: (glaring)

Helena: (takes in a deep breath)

Myka: This is the warehouse, Helena. Artifacts do things to people. They play with your mind. We all know that risk. We all take it, every single day. It could have been any one of us. It could be. It has been.

Helena: If he had hurt you...

Myka: I know.

Helena: If he ever does.

Myka: I know.

Silence.

Myka: But I think, for now, we have reached our warehouse homicides quota. Right?

Helena: It doesn't have to be in the warehouse.

Myka: Helena.

Helena: Fine. I won't murder him.

Myka: That's all I'm asking.

Helena: For now.

Myka: I... okay, sure. I'll accept that.

“Griff Sombke is the co-host of Did Nothing Wrong, a podcast all about “politics at the intersection of extremists, propaganda and Cold War 2.0”. Didn’t we just have his partner on board? Yes, we did - that would be Jay McKenzie - but Griff is a fascinating guy with a life story that’s unique. Plus, I fucked up the title last time. And the subtitle.

This is a wild ride.

Topics include: training for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for 11 straight years, founding a gym, walking away from that gym, not answering the phone for years, bad science, bad fitness advice, the Joe Rogan Podcast and its immense cultural influence in the MMA / Jiu-Jitsu world, being a small town punk rock scene kid, conspiracy-prone taxi drivers and how to handle them with "Risk Assessment" and "Distance Management", researching the Radical Right, finding a Jiu-Jitsu academy that works for you, what Griff did when he dropped out of his old life for a really long time, former police officer Michael Fanone as a TV talking head, and the importance of waking up, going again, getting a little sharper each day.

Enjoy.”

The article "Urban Prepping — Emergency Preparedness in the City" by Kit Perez, discusses the unique challenges of survival in an urban environment during disasters. Unlike rural areas where survival resources are abundant, cities require different survival skills and preparation for disastrous events like earthquakes, hurricanes, or civil unrest. The importance of situational awareness, self-defense proficiency, and blending in during emergencies is emphasized. It highlights the limitations of depending solely on stored resources and stresses the need for emergency plans including Bug Out Bags (BOBs) for evacuation. Moreover, urban dwellers are encouraged to adapt their training to city-centric scenarios, focusing on both combat and non-combat skills to navigate potentially chaotic urban landscapes during emergencies.
