I hate arguments like this. People who want clean dishes will do dishes. And no there's no free-rider problem because they don't have to do dishes for anyone else.
- PragmaticPulp 5y ago> People who want clean dishes will do dishes. And people who want to eat will farm their own food? And people who want medicine will craft their own medications? Self-sufficiency and moneyless societies are pure fantasy, unless they include giving up all modern amenities. I don’t think these people really want to return to the days of hunter gatherer lifestyles or even the days of homesteading. It’s an extreme amount of work to be self-sufficient.
- LinuxBender 5y agoTo add to that it isn't even legal to be self sufficient. I know how to make several prescription drugs but the moment I provide them to anyone else or anyone finds out I make them I will be put in a cage.

- jamincan 5y agoIt also almost always requires a lot of land. You could not feed the globe if everyone was self-sufficient.
- guerrilla 5y agoYou're moving the goalpost while also adding the artificial restriction that people can't cooperate.
