I'd think a major elephant-in-the-room part of the 'solution', is clearly recognizing the antagonism that online (on-device) has with being human in an actual place. Cliche-sounding or otherwise, I think this also relates to my gnawing irritation with a libertarian political stance (worldview). Wellness doesn't come from living in isolation of one another, nor did it ever. Nor are we independent nor invulnerable. Far from it. Still, the basic decentralization and free agency to communicate with one another is Nostr's potential. Naive or otherwise, I'm staying tuned to see how it might evolve to use-cases appropriate for local community empowerment (and joy among other self-defined needs). The potential global reach and capitalizing-potential is always gonna motivate the technocratic 'tools'. However, there is a huge 'educational' need for folks to see through the veils placed upon us through schooling that has been promoting progressive consumption of all kinds. I'd think that your cynicism that perhaps 'no one cares' is being informed by some of the said rackets etc. Sorry to be a tad ranty, but that thin layer of introspection seems contagious. Regardless, "Who's doing what to whom, and who's benefitting?" (and who's getting screwed?) seems a timeless question worth asking. 🤙🏼
