I'd argue we've gone far beyond alienated. We're actively rejecting and dismantling, en-masse, the very systems we foundationally operate within.

Rejecting the systems that have trained us into being happy to dedicate ourselves towards a series of communal goals that we have had no input in deciding, nor any means of avoiding; 'growing' the individual to identify with their governance system and the social infrastructure over oneself; are these systems an individual should want to identify with?

From a moral perspective, is it the right thing to dismantle de-humanising systems?

-climate change

- physical health (microplastics, pollution etc)

- loneliness and mental health epidemic

- unknown unknowns of currently tech

4 off the top of my head. I'm sure I can think of more.
