There cant be a "Great Logging Off". Critical interactions and services such as the medical, payment/banking systems, diverse public sector functions, the entire news industry etc. are now online and there is no visible way back. The oligopolization and enshittification of all digital infrastructure has happened even as digitization of all of society became a one-way street. This fundamental contradiction is a monumental failure of governance that will haunt society for a long time. There will have to be some sort of resolution as the status-quo is untenable, a crippling stalemate that limits innovation and stokes great risks. But it is not clear which way things will evolve. Its not like we have been here before. Make no mistake though, the stakes are very high. When the means of communication and information processing change so dramatically, none of the certainties of the past can be relied upon.
