MrB, your thoughtful scenarios are convincing. Are you presenting them
mainly as an exercise or are you genuinely concerned for your own
future? If it is an exercise you have nothing to worry about. If there is concern for survival, let me say I'm convinced you'll survive by your wits. A little story: maybe two decades ago a friend from IBM
went through the one-week new management training course. Part of this
meant spending a couple of days on the street without physical resources (no ID, money etc). He wasn't supposed to bank on his identity either. He survived. IBM hasn't had this training for a long time. :)
My point is: you have plenty of (perhaps untapped) resources to copy
with the unforeseen. That's what I like about sailing on the Bay in
summer. It develops some of the resources that might otherwise atrophy.
