Our irrational valuation of self reliance is probably why we stagnated for 50k years after full modernity, btw. There's a lovely presentation on that comparing a hand axe to a mouse, if I can find it.
For awhile, it seems that every human being on earth knew how to make all the stuff, and most of the stuff was remarkably the same as any other bit of stuff. Life fucking -blew-. High art was stick figures, pop music was a bunch of whistles, hi tech was stone flakes, and wealth could be measured in the relative number of nights spent cold and starving.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
