>Flip your circuit breaker then. Disconnect yourself from evil electricity.
this is a population thing, and a group of people would have to choose to live without technology for generations to make any good progress, and they would basically have to be secret to the wider industrialized society or it will use it production capacity to force integration and subsume that healthy phenotype into it's unhealthy one

like working hard pays off now? no, being born into a caste isn't a bad thing, the society was dedicated to its stability, this hyper-fixation on the individual (and more over social mobility which is going away anyway because of the collapse of intelligence) is a luxury belief that is meant to make everyone too selfish for society operate
