> I don't believe the digital revolution "did this to us". I think it's simply a mirror and and amplifier what was already there.

You saying the same thing and its exact contrary.

Of course it's always been there. That's not the point. The point is that the so-called revolution/empowerment is promoting the worst out of us collectively and individually, instead of taming the beast, and helping the best.

Taming the beast, the destructive human passions, for the common good, which is the very point of "civilisation".

Edit:

> and we're realising there is a problem

It's been thousands of years we've realised, we know there is a problem. People have discoursed/written about it so much in the past.
