DIY masks are just the beginning. Autarky is back.

Autarky is simultaneously anti-capitalist and ultra-capitalist.

Build so you don’t need to buy, so you can withdraw from the market.

Or build so you can sell, so you can win the market.

But build.
I’ve been interested in technological autarky for some time.

It’s a natural extension of open source, buying local, 3D printing, and other trends.

Interesting to see how far we can push it given that we have the internet.
In addition to tech, biotech, and crypto I think entrepreneurs should help turn America into producers again.

There has been phenomenal work on the “producer internet” — tools for analytics, graphic design, and so on.

What about the physical world?
