>"...peaceful coexistence with you was simply impossible!"

Yes.  I control my production, as do we all, and when we keep what we make, overlords cannot possess the wealth and power necessary to violently oppress us.  They only get that wealth and power we give them.  Cut them off.

Thanks!

I wish the Frescoan vision had been as unbounded as what will actually eventuate, but that would have cast the Venus project as adrift of funding as real decentralization is.

Thanks!

Your example inspires me.  

Thanks!

Excellent questions!

>"Printing drones for what purpose? Who will identify the target?"

I point out that drones are the most effective battlefield weapons today.  If they're your drones, you will identify the targets.  

>"Do you use alternative energy sources? Why are they 5-7 times more expensive than grid power?"

I do.  I have solar panels on my trucks for use in remote sites where shore power is not available.  They're more expensive because mass production of expendable fuels is less expensive per unit.  However, they're free if you make them yourself.  In 2008 DIY solar panels were invented.  I have no idea how long ago wood gas generators were invented, but people were running cars on them in droves in WWII.  A variety of geothermal solutions are becoming available today, heat pumps, and they ARE expensive.  Windmills are as expensive as you make them.  Kites that spine bobbins can be almost free to $10's or $100's of thousands, depending on whether you make one yourself or get a commercial network of them.  I learned to make a windmill in the 1970s from a Pinto rear end and a generator, using planks for the rotor, that was almost free.  Similar parts remain almost free in junkyards around the world today, and the tech is still as simple.  No rare earth magnets or highly engineered propellers are required, unless you're trying to scale up to grid-sized commercial production, which isn't where wind scales best.  Vertical shaft windmills are extremely simple, and all the maintenance of the business end is on the ground, which makes maintenance simple and cheap.  They're basically a Tibetan prayer wheel that is geared up to drive a generator, and can be made of planks and bedsheets with bicycle wheels as bearings for starters (bedsheets won't last long).

>"Have you dug your own well to irrigate your hydroponics? Why do organic farm fruits cost many times more than chemically produced mass-produced fruits?"

I have hand dug my well before, for a homestead innawoods.  I did not grow food there, as I am surrounded by farms, who do it better.  Organic farm fruits are more expensive because they are varieties that put more of their energies into defending themselves from pests, so they do not require so much pesticide use, but grow slower as a result.  Another reason is that pest control is more difficult and labor intensive without resorting to chemicals.  Hand picking pests, washing individual leaves with soap, and other organic methods of pest control are much more expensive.  Finally, organic fruit are attacked by pests, and wormy apples aren't salable.  Organic fruits that are salable are necessary to price higher to compensate for lower yields.  There are more reasons for all these things, and there are classes you can take in organic gardening to get more information and depth of understanding.

>"Where do you get your seeds? How do you know those seeds are not gmo, is someone responsible to you for that?"

I get them from local feed stores, because I want seeds suitable to the local climate.  Then I overwinter some of the crops, so I can have seed for coming years, or seed bulbs for onions, garlics, potatoes, and etc.  Crops that don't produce seeds, or don't produce well here, I find different seeds for, or grow different crops.  I have a *tiny* space for a garden, ~10^2 feet, and am mostly keeping a few things growing for seed in the event I need to provide my own food.  I depend on farmer's markets and local farmers as much as I can while they're common hereabouts.  I stick things in soil like root veg, celery, onion ends, garlic bulbs, if they start to shrivel from being in the fridge too long, and see if they grow.  I found out I can grow sweet potato here, although it won't survive winter, that way.

>"Do you know that plants do not feed on water alone and it is unlikely that you can produce all the necessary micronutrients for a nutrient solution at home? Do you have experience?"

Aquaponics is not merely hydroponics.  The nutrients for the plants are provided by aquatic species such as catfish, tilapia, prawns, or crawdads, and their waste is then pumped up to the plants where the water is cleaned of the fish wastes that are the plants fertilizer.  I have seen aquaponics systems locally that were growing about 10x what they needed, which they sold commercially.  This was in a 3bd apartment with a sunny window wall, and they also used lights.  The 3x2000 gallon tilapia tanks were kept in an unheated garage.  There are also plans for systems that take advantage of chickens, rabbits, and even larger animals like goats for aquaponics, but I have no experience with them.  I'm not even sure if they qualify as 'aqua' since they're not aquatic species, even though their waste is mixed into water fed to plants as fertilizer.

It can be even simpler, as a 55 gallon drum with catfish in it fed table scraps will feed you pretty good all year, and you can dip the water out in buckets to water plants.

I continue to garden in soil, but am working on becoming more productive and bringing it indoors for reasons I have stated.  I am discouraged from growing my own food by locally available products, fish, and meat from hunting, but strive to be prepared to transition in the event something changes.

>"Only the hull of the spaceship was printed on a printer, and that's not even half of it."

>"The vehicle was 85% 3D printed by mass..."

Manufacturers are now using 3D printers to make rocket nozzles, because the intricate fuel/coolant passages inside the nozzles are extraordinarily difficult to piece together from parts robustly and reliably, while such passages are far easier and more robust when simply printed into the part as it is made.  Hall effect thrusters used to maneuver satellites and spacecraft having reached orbit are 3D printed for this reason.

Do not think the first thing made by a new method is the end of the advance of that tech used to make it.  Terran 1 was the largest 3D printed object ever made, and the first to reach space under it's own power.  It was a significant achievement, and just the beginning, of many and more firsts coming from using these methods of manufacture.

>"...dependent on the manufacturers of the materials for it."

All methods of manufacture do.  My skilsaw cuts wood.  My tile saw cuts tile.  My torch cuts steel.  I can't use my skilsaw to cut steel, and although my torch will cut wood, every time it has I had to put the fire out quick.  However, 3D printers are very versatile, and most printers can use a variety of different materials.  PLA, ABS, and literally hundreds of different kinds of filament are available for use in 3D printers, from dozens of manufacturers.  Many people also experiment with making filament from recycled beverage containers, shopping bags, fishing line, and etc.  There are also printers that use pastes on the market today, and this suggests that soon all kinds of locally sourced materials, clays, cements, or just compacted soil, will soon be usable on a table top scale.  There are ongoing experiments to tame wire feed welding to be used with 3D printers, as such welders are very inexpensive.  The real problem there is the extremely high heat such welding produces, and how to protect the printers, and the workshops they're used in, from burning down.  I have seem much larger printers with print beds 8' wide in commercial settings - much more expensive and space hungry than consumer models - that handled such temperatures by being in commercial spaces nominal for the purpose.

I don't think the materials available for 3D printers are a limiting factor, for the above reasons.  

The financial markets and the cost of real property is a weapon being used against us, and IMHO that was behind the 2008 financial crash and the QE used to pump huge amounts of money into stonks.  This has caused investors to become exponentially fiat wealthy compared to wage earners, and that is behind the increasing unavailability of real property.  There are a variety of ways to solve this problem, and there are a lot of reasons that real property values should decline (such as old homeowners dying off).  I strive to use goodwill instead of money and do not pay rent, property taxes, or most bills most people have because I exchange services for those bills being paid by folks that do use money.  Finally, there's just squatting.  The concentration of real property ownership in an investor class through the use of fraud and scams as has been done isn't lawful, even IF it's technically legal.  Just taking what we need to live and can't get another way is just, when the taking isn't from individuals but from large corporations, and it's not blatant profiteering.  

When governments are criminal, laws are crimes, and vice versa.

I am old.  I am not going to lead charges on the battlefield and become a hero our posterity puts up statues of someday.  I am not going to claim Asteroid Psyche and become fabulously wealthy by developing it.  I'm not colonizing Mars, or Venus, or ever leaving Earth for the exciting diaspora and colonization of the solar system coming.  I am not the One.  That doesn't mean what I have learned is useless or wrong.  I don't advocate everyone do everything, but that people seize the means of production *suitable to their circumstances*.  In my circumstances, I should probably 3D print my casket, LOL.

I may not lead the charge, but I can cheer for them that do.

Thanks!

It's simple! Go to America as an illegal immigrant, close to New York.
If you don't spend your social allowance on booze and drugs, in a couple of years you will be able to buy land with a house, solar panels, hydroponics and a 3D printer that will print it all for you in a third world country. 
You can even steal it all from the shops there, if you steal for no more than $1000 at a time!
How much do you need? 15-20 shoping trips like that and you're on a roll.)))
But if you go to jail, you'll experience the whole colonial past of a democratic city on a hill, working for Ronald McDonald or Coca-Cola.

More positive, not everyone gets caught!

There are plenty of guides to approved political choices for goyim.

My point is all of them are bad.

Thanks!
