True for sure. You are still talking about someone who knows trades. From what I see around I don't think we have enough trades people joining our movement to maintain a standard of living high enough for the developers and their cypherpunk software to be useful if things really get ugly.
Still the community mostly elevates devs and podcasters. Farmers are starting to get some credit. There is a lot to maintain between farmers keeping us from starving and using encryption and network distributed systems.
