It's a little scary to me how addicted people are.
>You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.
How do we go back? Top heh. The problem is much bigger than the black mirrors: it's 21 years' worth of accumulated brain damage from addiction to socmed, etc. It's normies in general being no smarter or wiser or moral than the dirt-farming peasants they've been for thousands of years— now networked and equipped with cameras so that the world can have non-stop feeds of public displays of baboonery.
The better question is of how things can ever get better, because going back simply isn't an option, and the answer is probably something spergy like "a natural aristocracy arises and forms parallel institutions which gradually replace the current decrepit, corrupt institutions."
That, or a giant solar flare EMPs the whole planet back to the 1930s. People won't be getting any wiser, but circumstances can still take the attractive nuisances from their hands.
