Bravo! A very timely message as I've removed myself from the socials this year until who knows when lol — a conscious decision that's very closely based around many of the points you covered here. "How can we take the well online?" I've combed over this query for years and still I arrive at the same place which is: consciousness + online activity feels conflicting.. one cancels out the other in the sense that consciousness is born from present moment awareness, which online activity battles against.. regular online activity, especially in online social settings is known to hinder our decision-making skills, it encourages delayed response traits, etc., all of which strip away at our present moment awareness abilities thus making us less conscious irl. I don't have all the answers, but I'm grateful for the ideas you shared under 'Electronic Arcology' — the path to 'Somewhere Good' is already here. Xx
