What a thoughtful analysis, Ed. Brilliant. I agree that our sense of identity is fully entwined with the world - I write about the same, though from a very different perspective. For me the best way forward, in terms of escaping the simulation, is to return to nature. It's a conscious recalibration of identity with the natural world and rejection of the commoditization of everything - including people.
We begin to recollect ourselves and screen time naturally becomes less compelling, as we reintegrate with this more primary connection.
Really appreciate your ability to see the larger historical trends, while relating it personally. Thank you.
