The thing is, the option you want is available today. There are communities all around the world that live much simpler lives. Some just because that is how they are, others because they've formed communities to escape all the things you don't like.

Genuine question, have you ever investigated these options? If so, why did you dismiss them?

Disagree

Removing yourself from the computing environment does not remove the impact it has on the world and around you. That is the equivalent of sticking one's head in the sand.

The option is still available to you though. Sticking your head in the sand could be a great strategy if it improves your happiness and wellbeing.

Right now I am picturing the dog drinking coffee in the burning room meme.

I really think this is extreme doomerism. Things are not that bad. And as I say, wouldn't you be happier if you lived in an environment where you were not impacted by all the stuff you dislike?
