Sedentary peoples have a massive Achilles' heel: They've got their assets, manifest labor, and sentimental attachments bundled up into one giant, taxable, extremely-hard-to-move package.

If instability is on the horizon, you cannot beat the tried and true combination of a sturdy tent, a few goats, an AK-47, a couple motorbikes, and a tolerance for Spartan conditions in dry, desolate places. Nimble, light on your feet, responsive to threats in real time. Pull up the stakes any minute.

Perhaps my wildest prediction is that this will make a comeback globally -- even in North America.

The "digital nomad" thing is just the luxury version. But if the immense wealth that supports digital nomadism were to dry up -- the same basic impulse will still come into play.

It'll just involve way more goats than laptops.
