"...you are just happy it appears..."

There you go projecting again.

"You aren't going to get your own means of production..."

Already do. I mean, these things are in the wild. Is there some barrier to you acquiring stepper motors and aluminum rails? PCR machines and pipettes? LED strips and aquarium bubblers? FOSS AI and Raspberry PI's? You don't have to pay money for these things yourself if you acquire nominal goodwill from folks that have money. You might try it before you deny it. If you acquire money, you may not be able to acquire actual wealth with it, which could be problematic, but if you acquire wealth and can't acquire money with it, who cares? Get you wealth, the goods and services that provide the blessings of civilization you require to enjoy life as you prefer, and leave money to them that can eat it.
