What if the Internet as a whole was just a mistake and it can't be fixed?

I get what OP is going for, but at the same time I also wonder if it's pointless because social media will always be bad. Like trying to make a harmless drug.

Every day I wonder if I should cut myself off from the Internet completely. Of course social media is different from the Internet, but if you remove all sites where you have discussions and post content, what else is there?
I often feel that I dont want to use a smartphone and install apps, it's companies and governments that do. They want me to use that shit. And the general population enforces this idea because they actually enjoy downloading apps and staring at screens.

I don't know how to feel about modern tech or what to do about it. Make healthier alternatives or reject it altogether? Go back to 2004 and stay there?

Excellent post.
I'm an IQ 138 individual, have published a book, have a degree in physics, program for a living etc.
I'm not posting this to boast, I'm saying this because I legit believe I think this world is crazy because I see it objectively, and you do too.

>This conversation makes me want to return to the woods and live like an animal for the rest of my life JUST so that I can worry about food and water and not this stupid fucking encrusted cumstained chickenshit.
For the past 2 years I've been thinking about this regularly. I've reached a point where I think I'll do it for real. I no longer use social media or a smartphone, and I got rid of my tv because of feminist ad campaigns.
It's pretty sad to detach myself from society alone, though. Ideally I'd like to find viking people to start a traditional community with me.

Young men need to actually, unironically, TAKE CONTROL and start new communities where they can make new rules.
We need to be LEADERS once more, not cattle in a capitalist, feminist society where kids cut their dicks off and most men die without sex.
The only thing holding you back is your addiction to modern comforts. Reel yourself in a bit and see your life for what it is.

I like how the smartest individuals of 2025 don't use technology, when just 20 years ago it was the opposite.

I'm a dumbphone Chad and a lot of zoomers laugh at me for not owning a dopamine slab. But they don't understand.
They don't understand, that dopamine slabs were never for us, they were always for them.
Today I spent 24 hours with an old Nokia and instantly felt more free. No more notifications or waiting for my phone to beep so it can rape my psychology so that Zuckerberg can get a bit richer.

The only problem is that without Tiktok, you will never get laid, because women basically live inside phones these days. Since Biblical times, it's the women who lead the men astray.

Today, once again, I went to the store to buy more RAM so I could keep using the Innerneh.
For 20 years I've been using le Innerneh to do the same thing: write text and look at 50kb jpg files. But this same task is requiring more and more processing power from my computer, and a faster connection.
Nobody else is noticing this. Even /g/ responded with "RAM is dirt cheap, just buy more poorfag lul"

I need to upgrade my PC because sites are full of bloat. They want to track your mouse and use timers to count the milliseconds you spend hovering over a porn pic. I don't want that. They do. Yet I need to pay up if I want to keep my meme and social addiction.
I'm basically paying for my own surveillance and being blackmailed.
The crazy part isn't that this is happening. The crazy part is that literally nobody cares except for me. Apart from maybe Stallman, there isn't a single goddamn human being who takes this seriously. I've seen relatively smart people mindlessly accepting cookies at my uni.
I hate saying this, but once again I didn't need to prove my superior intellect, the rest of my species is doing it for me. Unbelievable.
