Recognize the Levels of the Matrix in the human society that are ruling you and your intelligent monkey mind. The practical, meaningful, good, real, altruistic thing is used as a bate so you would work. Too much work is required for a technology to be really meaningful – to save time, energy, life – of a non-tech. Most of the tech is used for entertainment and attention waste.
You sign legal document to not own the product of your work in exchange of some money.
That money is created out of thin air by banks and governments and you give your life for illusions.
The government controls – via legal documents, power hierarchies or money supply – the organizations with real physical power – the police and the army, the court, the banks and probably many more. You could play around with crypto-currencies with social media platforms, but if you confront the ones in power, you are in danger of getting out-casted.
