You will own nothing and be happy about it.

If that scenario comes true I will change careers from Computer Science and become either a blacksmith or a woodworker. I am entirely serious.

    Become a blacksmith, supply the revolution with cool swords.

    Swords are awesome, but not very practical against drones and bullets.

    Like, a cool sidearm to have as a backup as long as it doesn't get in the way. A dagger might be less obtrusive and still get the point across. But swords these days are good for three things: reenacting, sport, and display.

    Maybe decades post-apocalypse when blackpowder is in short supply they'll be more practical. Unless we have laser guns already at that point...

    Tangential thought: I wonder if a heavily polished sword can reflect laser beams like in star wars... 🤔

    I have an alt proposition: why not look into projects like FOSSi or FSi? It’s trying to address the hardware side of computers (chip production) but HW design goes all the way up to programmers and SW optimizations.

    Side note: making silicon wafers requires metallurgy, so you can always become a modern day “blacksmith” (or graysmith, in this case;)
