I think the crux of his problem with modern society is that it's too complex. This complexity makes people neurotic because they can't grasp it. Basically, you feel powerless. This can't be fixed simply by turning off the internet. After all, the reason why you know that it's so complex in the very beginning is because you watch the news or get them indirectly through social media. If you live a simple life. If all you do is go to work, come home, eat, and sleep, you wouldn't be bothered by how complex society is because you wouldn't even be aware of it. I believe this is the case because my grandma recently said that the concept of stress was very novel. During her time, it didn't exist. Things moved slower, because there was less to do. People knew less of the world. People knew of less things to do. If all you have is 1 video game, then you can take your time playing it. But if your given 1000 games, you've won't have any idea where to start. It's called the paradox of choice.

The truth does not set you free.

Also, there is no way anyone would ever want to abandon things like AC or anything you can find in a kitchen.
