I generally agree with the defined problem, but when a prescription is provided then that becomes the new goal rather than the initial desired outcome (no more negative effects of digitopia). Your progress is compared against your adherence to the protocol firstly, then the initial desired outcome secondly.

With that being said, to be a bit hypocritical, and with the disclaimer that this is non-exhaustive and different things work for different people, the protocol that has worked for me is as follows:

Delete all social media

Meditate hour a day

Gym (weights, cardio) 5x a week

Good sleep

Proper diet and supplementation

Have job that pays good enough and be good at it

Live well below my means and take on no debt

I think once you remove basically everything, and you’ve listened and quieted all of your thoughts and sophisticated ape urges, you come to understand things truthfully, and wisdom + stoicism + peace naturally ensues.
