Our species' nature has built a civilization-level quagmire that—again, owing to our very nature—is effectively inescapable via all but either further technological advancement, or a stone age-level disaster. Seeing as the latter would suck, I believe our only hope is developing technology that both replaces our existing stack on a philosophical level, and weaves human interest in at every layer. The irony being, we would necessarily be using technology to escape bad technology. There is no rolling it back. Thing is, there's very little time to actually do this, and when I say replace I mean replace. To do that, you're talking something exceptional. Something that everyone will use, that's far beyond what we have today, that works different. The odds of this are very low given the current rate of technological progress and societal entrenchment. Nevertheless, I try to keep the faith.
