"And it seems the mood right now is to run away from screens."
I don't think this is true. Like cigarette smoking in the mid-20th, the elite are realizing how harmful screens are, and are starting to turn the wheels of awareness and regulation to the fact of harm. But the message hasn't landed. The same struggle will ensue, but the institutional elite are far less powerful than they were then, and it's not clear that it will work. We will be left to our own devices (so to speak), and it will be up to individuals to do what is right for their minds, and look on with sorrow at the damage screens are doing to the very fabric of civilization. It is a great mercy that the bleeding always stops, one way or another.
- infotainment 2y ago…what? Not everything needs to be a weird conspiracy you know. Trends exist.
- tocs3 2y agoI do not think he means "weird conspiracy" but elite knowing where the money (and control) is.
- netbioserror 2y agoThe institutional elite in the West and the US in particular wields FAR more power than has EVER existed in history, and has greatly benefited from the digital addiction of the plebs. You so fundamentally misread absolutely everything that I would put into question your fundamental assumptions and value system.
