Because I think that "but I need a place to disconnect, I am undisciplined to do it on my own when I am under coverage" is a poor reason to justify advocating for stopping progress.

Comparing it with actual drugs and calling for the same "deny this to everybody so I dont have to use my willpower, please" is what grinds my gears.

Well good for you, except for the fact that I’m not advocating that folks not have access in general.

I literally said this nowhere. The fact that it’s going to be difficult for a great number of individuals to disconnect from the internet _is reasonably comparable to drugs being present around an addict that is trying to quit_.

Next time I’m in the Tenderloin I’ll wander around telling people to just have will power because someone online said that’s all that’s required.

I don’t know about denying earth-wide internet access from ordinary cell phones, nor of the utility of denying you the internet; but I am fairly certain you would probably benefit from going on a well-led backpacking trip away from technology given that I doubt anyone who’s done that would continue to hold your dismissive and unkind position.
