All so true. If we take the concept (homesteading / self-sufficiency) back  
to the European (and certainly not confined to the European) 'given' that  
all 
male children automatically followed in their fathers' - vocational -  
footsteps...what happens now that there will be no footsteps to follow in? 
 
No trades exist here anymore (outsourced) - no crafts (outsourced and  
automated). I detest the Suits and all they stand for.  
Subservient...marshmallows. 
(S'mores - gimme s'more!) The only issue I would  argue is gender capability 
and potential.
 
I won't apologize for my seemingly extremist views. I went 'back to the  
Earth' in the mid-seventies, and have yet to return to reality as we now  
acknowledge it. Buy a horse. Build a fire. Grow something!
 
As far as I'm concerned, one of the few good things to come of modernity is  
the internet. And no blather about power sources, or gasoline for generators. 
 
There are folks in India powering their computers by bicycle. Incentive. A  
hunger is a hunger, be it for food or knowledge.
 
Maybe that's what we need.
