Yep. I’d also add a couple other factors that seem to play into the prepper object negativity memeplex:
“an object solves this problem” is something of a cognitive stop sign to most people—tabooing the “object solved it” concept forces more accurate thinking about what one’s options would be without the object
prepper proclivities seem to have a substantial overlap with hoarding disorders. With any hoarding comorbidity, “i have the object” does not imply “I can find the object and retrieve it in good condition”.
