I believe we are seeing an analog resurgence because computers are becoming less and less useful with time due to enshittification, and things aren't getting better any time soon. Sure, computers -can- do more than ever, but they don't want you to - every cent of Microsoft, Google, TikTok, Metabookstagram etc's R&D over the past decades has been towards reducing user agency so that behavior can be corralled into more profitable patterns for the owners. Eventually that's all normal people find themselves doing on computers anymore, and they realize they're working someone else's clock, and disconnect. Those who don't disconnect will drown in it and become socially irrelevant - you won't see them. What you SEE will be the analog resurgence because those who are not partaking in said resurgence will be invisible. You don't "see" people spending $15/day on app backgammon. You don't "see" people spending 6 hours straight on TikTok - people act these kinds of ways in private.

You will "see" the analog resurgence, but you may not "see" the complete picture, in this way.

interesting take, do you think black swan events like Epstein and related political issues (namely the president, palantir, etc) could speed up the visible element of the resurgence?
