I don't disagree with any of this. However most people are working overtime just to keep their spot, keep lights on and fed, and keep the govt away. Some people can become self-sufficient yes, but there will always be the burgeoning masses. Those masses necessitate the scale of consumption and production we have today for food, energy, and material. It's likely that you couldn't reach many of the achievements we have today without the large gradient of economic classes/tiers. But I think it's becoming clear that the system is reaching an upside down point because we have so many people doing jobs where there is no real product. Look at all of the wealthy young people from simply playing video games or dancing and making videos online. And yes the same is true of much of corporate media and entertainment for the past several decades. An equally troubling metric is how many people are employed by the government now. We see automation popping up everywhere, and they say a large portion of the public has simply walked away from the labor force. I think we can see that there's an obvious decline in society overall, and I fear that we're only in the beginning. I think we're going to see more infrastructure failure before long. But the immediate threat is the lawlessness and desperate people. You see mobs of people raiding stores in urban areas pretty often. It was often for clothes, electronics, and luxury items, but I've seen where they clear out the food too now. That's a notable marker. Major stores closing because of theft. Hell Walmart had a report that people are only buying food now, and they don't make much profit on that. Self reliance will be key if this continues, but geography and proximity to dense populations will also become important factors. Many of the old farmers I've known did it all. They were a mechanic, electrician, carpenter etc. Most people now don't even know how to change a tire, and in times of hardship they'll demand the authorities make things easy for them. Or they'll join whoever is most convincing or intimidating.

Evolution works through the death of the poorly adapted to changing environmental conditions. People that remain committed to traditional methods despite circumstances no longer enabling those practices to prosper suffer the consequences. Hunter gatherers were outcompeted by Neolithic farmers that could support professional militaries with food surpluses. Centralization enabled more advanced technology that enabled higher productivity. That productivity gradually increased as technology advanced. However decentralization of the means of production is the cutting edge of technological advance across all industries today. Advances in productivity no longer are promoting centralization, but are now promoting decentralization. Decentralized bespoke production provides higher quality goods and services custom made for specific consumers, eliminates waste from mass production, and decreases costs by focusing on local resources reducing transport costs. Most importantly, households that produce themselves the goods and services necessary suffer no parasitic losses to oligarch profits, and create no taxable events. Overlords create overhead on centralized industry that is the majority of the production, and these parasitic losses are eliminated by decentralization. Centralization is not economically competitive with decentralization. Worse, it seems apparent that overlords are deliberately sabotaging industry and supply lines, as before you can remodel industry and community is is necessary to destroy the prior systems so that you can build new systems in their place. Since foods are being replaced with bugs and lab converted wastes, the agricultural system is being destroyed. The same destruction is necessary to change transportation, travel, power consumption and production, politics and economics that all must first be deconstructed before being replaced with new systems. Clearly such destruction will be very hazardous to people dependent on centralized production for their survival, even existentially. That seems to be likely to be deliberate given the globalists insist on population declines. As conditions become worse due to sabotage of extant supply lines, people will be left with a choice between adopting production mechanisms they can employ, or going without goods and services. For things like food, power, and the like that are necessary for survival, they will produce what they need or die, if goyslop hasn't become available to their bugpod before traditional foods are eliminated. While food remains on supermarket shelves, that adoption remains unreasonable, unless people are able to predict coming shortages and prepare in advance. After local stores are closed because flash mobs make them unprofitable, if food is not otherwise available, people can starve or use aquaponics to grow food at home, and people will be strongly encouraged to adopt decentralized means of production in agriculture. People that cannot will not survive the collapse of the supplies of food produced by centralized agricultural production controlled by overlords intent on reducing population. People will leave areas mobs rob, or die if their movement is prohibited. People that become dependent on mob raiding for necessities will either become producers when victims no longer exist because stores have closed or moved and taken their customers with them, follow their herds of prey, or perish if they cannot. Evolution will happen. Thanks!

Do you think the availability of some of these decentralized technologies is a ticking clock? For instance, 3D printing. I've never looked into how the filaments are produced, but I'd guess it requires a fair amount of energy and resources that aren't common in most places. You mention aquaponics, and being able to produce components for that. What pieces are difficult to make? Like pumps or maybe hoses?

There are many different materials that additive manufacturing can make things with. Filament is pretty much entry level hobbyist material. Most hobbyists start with such materials because they are easy to use. The next step for 3D printing is using different materials, such as pastes like chocolate, cement, and clay. These printers are today being made available to the market niches, like baking, where there is demand. Hobbyists maintain cutting edge development in design of 3D printers, and experiment with wire feed welding, metal powder sintering, and recycling of PET beverage containers for making filament at home. I think a breakthrough will come when 3D printers are adapted to produce filament from recyclables themselves, rather than using a separate machine to make filament. It just takes a tape cut from a water bottle and puts it through a nozzle to create filament that can be put through a nozzle to print, so simply putting the tape into a 3D printer cuts out most of the steps and equipment necessary to using recycled PET. It's primarily a hobbyist field today, and the development of 3D printing itself is decentralized. It's not particularly energy intensive, compared to household appliances, depending on the size of the 3D printers themselves. Obviously printers large enough to make large items, like car fenders, or chairs, require larger motors and more energy, but most people entering the hobby aren't making things much larger than a 1/3 of a meter in a given dimension, which is comparable to microwave ovens or televisions. Hoses are very easy to make with a 3D printer using appropriate filament, but pipes are easier yet, since they don't need to be flexible. It is mass production providing parts to varied users with different use cases that makes hose so common, but making parts yourself for your specific design enables pipes to serve, and that is as easy as 3D printing gets. Motors and electronics are mostly beyond 3D printing capabilities at the hobbyist level, but aquarium pumps are extremely common and inexpensive. LEDs for lighting where sunny windowsills aren't available are also beyond most hobbyists capability, but printing circuits is becoming a specialized segment of the hobby, and I expect LEDs are being printed by those leading the development today. The rest of an aquaponics system is cups or gutters to hold the plants, and a tank for the fish or crawdads. It's about the most simple equipment that can be imagined. It's the application of the parts that is specialized, not the parts. While most people haven't escaped the indoctrination to buy food, as food provided by legacy industry becomes less suitable, or people become more aware of it's drawbacks, the voluminous information already available regarding aquaponics will be applied by more and more people. I have run into people with large aquaponics setups nominal for commercial use in their apartments, in my work as a handyman. People mostly don't understand the simplicity and utility of aquaponics, and that is the primary barrier to widespread adoption today. As the quality of food commercially available declines, motivation to overcome that relatively minor learning curve will dramatically, and suddenly, increase.
