Something needs to cause the internet to cut off. Causing people to think and those with the inability to detox from the internet to fade away. I believe our society can greatly reduce dumbness, propaganda and uselessness (trend & people) by cutting the internet.

    The internet is not the cause of those things, merely a vector by which they spread. More positive elements, like knowledge, understanding, and cooperation spread via the internet as well.

    Shutting down the internet, especially only temporarily, would not stop them at all. At most it would postpone them, or increase their influence from other vectors. TV is still a huge factor in misinformation and radicalization.

      I’m banking on the fact that most of these people couldn’t survive living for 4 weeks without the internet. Self cleaning society
