Storytelling remains king. Yes.
But you need to remember that 90% of people are not main characters. They’re extras in someone else’s movies.
They don’t tell their own stories. They play a part in others.
Therefore, there is no “saving them”
What technology does is give them extra powers to be useless with.
It elevates them & accelerates everything.
Those of us who are main characters AND can intentionally USE technology (as opposed to it using us) have an advantage (as we always have) but there’s no denying that the quantum of noise is higher than it’s ever been and this makes the tide harder to resist
People who don't write their own story are boring anyway. I don't feel like I'm hearing your original story here, either.
