I don't really think that there are plausible solutions, no. Appropriate technology is an interesting concept, but unworkable at any scale beyond some kind of small commune.
In fact, all solutions I can think of don't really work at any kind of scale.
The best things in Ted's work are about the power process (obviously Nietzschean, but see my previous response re: Heidegger and Ellul) and surrogate activities. The best solution to a world with so many surrogate activities is for an individual to pursue "the power process" as directly as practically possible. Again, this doesn't work at any kind of scale, but if a handful of people can do it, whether it's as extreme as going full Captain Fantastic or even just starting slowly by growing their own food or whatever, then that will at least have a positive effect on their own lives. Ted was pretty individualist.
Best thing he ever wrote, from the Manifesto:
>Freedom means having power; not the power to control other people but the power to control the circumstances of one's own life.
Even though I'm sure he would have sneered at someone with a couple of plants in a planter on their window or whatever, I think being 99.9% dependent on the system is better than being 100% dependent.
