“ It was tech, not a POTUS.”
And look how bad tech has gotten us.
The newest fad for schools and business is phone service through internet service. Loose the internet and your phones are down.
Ive known of many schools and business that have almost weekly failures resulting in zero communication.
Really bad ideas promoted as the latest and greatest!

I’m a fan of the first half of Ted Kaczynski’s book.

It’s when he starts the idea of killing random people where he lost me.

In all seriousness, technology is clearly a double edged sword.
Essentially all knowledge is available on the internet, but people spend more time looking at whores and watching bum fights.
Social media is largely just a mental form of cancer.

I have zero social media, unless here counts.
Almost 100% of tv is gone from my life as well.
Moving towards just real life activities and reading books has helped my mind calm down, improved the ability to concentrate and clarify thoughts, and be more content.

Personally I have found that an important part of freedom is the freedom to not do things, not participate. Simplification/minimalism is a legit practice.
