We already know how to become self-sufficient. Start your own business. Proven for decades. I did it; I talked both of my daughters through how to do it. Best way to become self-sufficient and to climb the socioeconomic ladder.

I was reading this more as how to be self-sufficient in the event of societal collapse. Living off-grid, producing your own goods, that sort of thing.

In the case of societal collapse, there will be invasions of any safe and self-sufficient communities. Whatever is successful will be plundered or at least the target of the scavengers. In that sense, self-sufficiency starts to look a good deal like sovereign communities with lethal defenses.

Self-defense is certainly part of it!
