    What are you even talking about? If anybody is denying the existence of a challenge, it’s you through your insistence that there is no future worth living without the unrelenting integration and consumption of technology.

    Don’t get me wrong, I rely on these technologies as much as the next. In fact, as a software engineer, it’s my livelihood and I’m going to support any means to keep it aligned with my own values.

    But I also recognize that I am a small fish in a vast ocean and that my most reliable weapon against tyranny is my own free will. If push comes to shove then I can and will simply refuse to follow society into the techno-feudalist hellscape we’re moving towards.

    You call it being left behind; I call it liberation.

      I’m insisting on that at all. If that’s what you read, that’s perhaps your own fear talking.
