A future in which AI drives us back to pre-internet living. But actually going back is impossible/undesirable. For example, what about people for whom it isn't realistic or safe to be exclusively IRL? IRL revivalism must hold the gist of the past and innovate its expression.

Anyway, jetlag.

It's a variety of things. Some are very conscious about the environmental costs, but more common is a simple desire to do their own work. These have been middle and high school students lately, and I think they truly fear growing up not knowing how to do anything for themselves.
