This is part 14 in the MediaFree and Gridless arc. Focus shifted from what "accessibility" means to "how important is it to be accessible" to attempting godhood.
What about the people who have no interest in plugging in, the ones who don't want to taste the joys of omniscience and omnipresence?
Maybe it's because they're already experiencing near omnipotence and it's enough for them.
What about people who have a hard time getting plugged?Polarity response. These people will broadcast a message. What if the echo isn't what they hope for? Or are willing to accept?
And the people who are declaring email bankruptcy, doing voluntary simplification, going gridless and so on? Or those that know there's a grid and don't care to access it?
These people are choosing to unplug nor not plug in at all, to be media free. It's not a difficult road to travel. It was the only road to travel up until...oh...five or so years ago? And the people who were on "the grid" prior to that? Heads of state, leaders of commerce, nuclear sub commanders, ... you know, people whom you'd really want to be able to get important messages to when you really had to.
But these people -- heads of state, leaders of commerce, nuclear sub commanders, ... -- these folks have something the great majority of us don't want; power. Power over people's lives and futures. In some cases, frighteningly, devastating power. These folks are craving omniscience and are relying on highly advanced grids to provide them with a semblance of omnipresence.
Look at before and after images of world leaders. The strain is incredible and shows in their faces. Me thinks these people can't wait to get off the grid.
