Yeah, agreed. Being part of the noosphere, being connected to the world: it is amazing. It's epic. Our local experiences often pale in compare.

I have no idea what kind of legal solutions people would propose to forcibly disconnect people from the newly arrived noosphere. Maybe we can show harm but there's lots of things people do to themselves & with their lives that are less than sub-optimal for them. We can scare ourselves into believing the harm is too great here, into being scared enough to rescind our liberty to connect, but rarely do I see an analysis that's honest enough to admit that the underlying problem is that we are connected. You would have to work enormously hard to convince me that reshuffling how we connect is going to not still be so enticing & compelling that the risk and harm goes away.
