Most of them self harm because the removal the pain feels good - and it takes with it some emotional pain.

> IT professionals around the world should gird their loins for the inevitable friends and family support calls when Windows 11 24H2 makes a surprise appearance, and uncle Fester is surprised that things have suddenly started working a little differently.

We're recreating a demon haunted world that will foster cargo cults. The algorithms we interact with are inscrutible, so we make up rules of thumb and assign agency where there is none. E.g. In 5 years there won't be a way to truly know how to minimize your personally-customized prices at the grocery store, but there will be tons of cargo cult opinions (put your phone in airplane mode, walk through iles 3 times before you pick up an item, pick up a generic version before the name brand, ...).
Algorithms and AI are the new divine agents to appease with ritual.

In the not too distant future humanity will see the magnetic pole at the equator. Wow.
