I remember having a conversation around 2009 - when iPhones were starting to ruin social norms around dining together. We concluded that iPhones were like crack, and that one day we would talk about that era like we talk about those heroin ads for housewives.

But recently I’ve been thinking a Butlerian Jihad cannot come soon enough.

Counter-prediction: For most, computer HAS TO become beer, and everyone will learn to shitpost and not get mad. (sedatives are mainly for the working class) For others, it HAS TO be crack (or cigarette), since their lives need the internet to help maintain productivity and stability. (Historically, nicotine-like incense are used by monks to help with reciting scriptures)
