Contrary to the common trope, I suspect that everyone's activities would be largely reactive to the chaotic downfall of order. If you wanted to so much as take a bus to a national park, your desires would be dependent on not just the altruism of the bus driver and park ranger sublimating their desires to yours but also the altruism of the larger infrastructure of everyone that supports them. I suspect I'd be limited to "hunker down in my house in the dark eating whatever is in the pantry and hope nobody notices me."

"hunker down in my house in the dark eating whatever is in the pantry and hope nobody notices me." That's exactly the kind of behavior that would accelerate the downfall of everything, don't you think so?
