The problem is it's also a society without users and abusers. It's just a story about dumb people.
But the reason society seems to be trending stupider isn't because we're naturally focusing on shunning intelligence... it's because the rich and powerful are using their influence to put that idea in our heads. They want a stupider, and more malleable, society to manipulate.
That is the biggest problem we're facing right now. And ignoring the root cause basically means you're pushing a boulder up a steep hill, just for it to roll back down again.
