There is certainly a giving up on owning and being a part of one’s world, and instead embracing a consumeristic mind-controlling framing in which one is simply pushed around by basic urges and those who feed them and how everyone else is consuming.

I think this is the Internet and tech. Lots of people praise the older Internet, before Facebook etc, and for good reason. But I’m not sure you can separate what it was and what it’s become.

I think there’s a neo-Luddite position that many would appreciate but don’t know how to conceptualise, because we’re all in this consumeristic mind-control cloud to some extent and don’t know what foregoing it even looks like.
