Once you open up the floodgates to a whole world of choice, settling for those around you makes you feel like a sucker, and it ruins you.

So, anyone wants to disconnect and settle for those in the immediate vicinity? Anyone? ...anyone?

Since this is a prisoner's dilemma, the solution won't be based on unilateral cooperation.

I don't think it's a prisoner's dilemma. I don't want to disconnect and settle regardless of what people around me do.

It's not either-or; you could also decide to spend only 50% of your free time online, and 50% in the meatspace. It's just more tempting to spend 100% of the free time online. Except those few moments when you would appreciate a company in meatspace, but everyone is too busy on Reddit.

YMMV, as usual, but no, not for me.
