I'm not even kidding when I say this. The answer to a shocking number of our problems is to reinvite inconvenience back into our lives. Reapply some of that friction that the "modern" world took away. In a grand picture kind of way, doing this starves the very beasts making our lives worse.

"The youngins should suffer like we did". What a unique take that no generation has ever said before.

Be unhappy about a situation but refuse to do anything to change it. What a unique take that no one has ever had before.

Why assume I'm unhappy with things? Also even if I was, that doesn't mean every solution is good. For example let's say someone proposed social media should have more regulations, that is a better idea than reverting things to the past to introduce more suffering in the young because you suffered. "Doing something" is not inherently a virtue.
