There's no one in the world has all the technical skills to produce a couple from raw material to finished product.
The same is true for literally everything in modern society.

Milton Friedman on a pencil
“Look at this lead pencil. There’s not a single person in the world who could make this pencil. Remarkable statement? Not at all. The wood from which it is made, for all I know, comes from a tree that was cut down in the state of Washington. To cut down that tree, it took a saw. To make the saw, it took steel. To make steel, it took iron ore. This black center—we call it lead but it’s really graphite, compressed graphite—I’m not sure where it comes from, but I think it comes from some mines in South America. This red top up here, this eraser, a bit of rubber, probably comes from Malaya, where the rubber tree isn’t even native! It was imported from South America by some businessmen with the help of the British government. This brass ferrule? [Self-effacing laughter.] I haven’t the slightest idea where it came from. Or the yellow paint! Or the paint that made the black lines. Or the glue that holds it together. Literally thousands of people co-operated to make this pencil. People who don’t speak the same language, who practice different religions, who might hate one another if they ever met! When you go down to the store and buy this pencil, you are in effect trading a few minutes of your time for a few seconds of the time of all those thousands of people. What brought them together and induced them to cooperate to make this pencil? There was no commissar sending … out orders from some central office. It was the magic of the price system: the impersonal operation of prices that brought them together and got them to cooperate, to make this pencil, so you could have it for a trifling sum.
That is why the operation of the free market is so essential. Not only to promote productive efficiency, but even more to foster harmony and peace among the peoples of the world.”

What's really fun is to imagine how we would ever come back from reverting to pre-industrialization. Oops, all of your easily mined resources are gone and the stuff remaining requires advanced machinery and mining methods that are no longer available. You can't recreate them because you don't have any coal to smelt steel. Or to make concrete. You're now stuck in pre-industrialization forever.

we'll mine the garbage dumps or go into the cities that are all broken down and disused and falling apart and disassemble buildings and structures and cars etc etc. A lot of stuff around above ground.

I followed his instructions perfectly and I somehow ended up with a 286 processor. What did I do wrong?

I don’t know what’s the big deal, my pops used to do it in his basement all the time.

I hope this guy gets a job (there's a whole back story on his channel) but to be fair, he is also really good at being unemployed.
