Editor's note
“Audited 2026-05-30: tightened from a junk-drawer category to a deliberate one. If a video has a clear single-topic home (shelter, water, geopolitics, etc.) it goes there — not here. Education is reserved for genuinely strategic multi-topic guidance like "16 steps to get prepared in 2026" or a year-end Q&A.”
