What can we do as a generation to actually do something?

:general: Serious Discussion

I believe that TikTok + covid lockdowns have made it so that we were inside our homes but still "seeing" other people, to the point where we accepted it and we've been doing this for 6 years now and we're too comfortable. When a world leader said or did something that makes your jaw drop or if there's ground breaking evidence that surely has to make the entire world riot...nothing happens. And I think that it's because we're too comfortable to make change and we think that something's just going to happen.

The question I have now is, what can we do about this? As an engineer, I really don't like technology. I think that we have very powerful computers in our pockets. We lived perfectly fine before AI and we'll do fine without it. We don't need all of this consumerism and tech stuff shoved down our throats. What we do need is community and to go outside.

That's the solution that I seem to have come up with but really...what's the possibility of when this will actually happen? I hope you all can give me a better answer.
