There's a somewhat popular idea that "computers have become too complex for anyone to really understand them" but honestly I don't think that's specific to computers at all.

The same thing has happened for goods and infrastructure; who *actually* understands anymore how the things they use on a daily basis are created, and what social factors play into that?

You can see this in the preppers who believe an isolated bunker will sustain them, the seasteaders who believe that they can just not pay taxes and infrastructure will somehow magically exist, and yes, also in the people on fedi who would rather just move to a shed in the forest that's cut off from society, but who have never thought through the implications that that has for their ability to eat.

All of them are completely disconnected from the process by which their daily sustenance is produced; there's no recognition that building social ties is *unavoidably necessary* to maintain a society or even just one's own life, that you can't just completely isolate yourself from others and survive.
