5/ (yes, this is a news.ycombinator kind of topic from 3-5 years back). You eat every meal takeout or frozen. You own 1 fork. You own 5 shirts. Etc. You depend on others for: * meals * replacement forks * water * laundry machines

6/ If you become a homeowner, your infrastructure pyramid grows 1 taller...but footprint goes from 1 unit square to 2 x 2 = 4 units square. Now you need a lawnmower blade sharpening guy, a gas station, etc.

7/ One more level to "well equipped homeowner". Pyramid height = 3, footprint = 3 x 3 = 9 units. Gotta buy replacement grinding wheels for your bench grinder to sharpen lawnmower blades to mow the lawn...

8/ I'd say that I'm at pyramid height 4 or 5. Have a rivet spinner and an Oregon chainsaw sharpener to touch up my hand filing on my chainsaw chains I use to cut my firewood to keep warm in winter. vs level 1: "rent with heat included is auto-debited"

9/ So, what's the LONGEST chain I have? Hmm. Welder and chop saw to build steel shelves that hold tools to maintain tractor and rototiller to plant pumpkin patch to grow pumpkins to feed pigs to get pork to make bacon to have breakfast ?

13/ The idea being that bootstrapping is hard / impossible. With a set of tongs, you can make more tongs (cite: me ; I've made several pairs of tongs). ...but how do you make the first pair?
