We have to engage with the complexity, don't we! Yes, it's 100% a systemic problem, enabled by greed and a legislative process captured by big money. And yet - taking responsibility for ourselves is crucial - to protect and heal, to (re)build the muscle memory and synaptic connections so that we choose people and nature and creative processes and solving puzzles....instead of defaulting to our screens.

We can't change the system if we're actively addicted. We can't resist effectively if we can't observe our own responses. We lose if we trade a screen addiction in for a rage activism addiction. Put down your phone? Sure, but the discussion I'd like to see is "then what"?
