@moakley@grue Car drivers depend on a whole bunch of things, as noted above. But farmers do too. They rely on people making tools, and in the case of motorized ones, supplying fuel and maintenance for them. They rely on markets to sell the products of their efforts to permit them to exchange with other people for other necessities like clothing or food other than the food they themselves produce. Etc. etc. etc. Everybody depends on everybody else in a society.
@moakley@grue Those “lone wolf” stories of people who “never rely upon another”? They’re just that: stories. And generally pretty bad stories written by thoughtless writers who preach a bad message that doesn’t hold up to even a second’s examination.
