I was with you up to and including the above paragraph.

Your analysis is spot on, up to this point, which is surprising to me, given you seem to have analysed it all correctly without considering energy, and how it is misused, abused by profit, which is the base lie of our criminal behaviour, if we defined crime as crimes agains the planet, and nature.

Not having that vital detail, nor maybe Metcalfe's law and what the latter means, is what let's you fall into the trap of thinking social media, and the data on it, including porn, is the culprit.

You need money as debt to put food in your mouth, so you are an energy slave, like all of us, you have no choice but to keep engaging with the harmful system, feeding it the energy it lives on, to get the energy you live on. We all do for now.

If you really want to change the system, you will have to accept that the dishonest energy lie of profit is the thing unsustainable, this is the thing that has to go, it is what ties us into perpetual scarcity enforcement, and destruction of all things, all life, even our own.

You need to have a clear views also of plan B, ie, what needs to come to replace the old system, in terms of energy, because for sure we all still need at least 3kWhrs per day, each, to live (We each metabolise about 3kWhrs per day - from an old WHO analysis, ref can be supplied if you are interested).

There is such a solution, including the energy requirements of nature as a primary stakeholder, but we need to understand energy, to understand Nature, and what it demands:
