Run into the woods naked and see how long you last and how good it feels.

I do not believe he ran around nude. He had neighbors not far away from his cabin. It gets too cold for that there anyway.

Ted was exposed to tech and humans for quite some time. After the drug and psychological experiments on him at Harvard it is not surprising he would want to get away from that and also not at all surprising that his responses and reactions would be a bit extreme. I am not justifying it, rather I think it's just expected. I could envision the head of the mkultra project closing the ticket [Not a bug][Working as designed]

I was speaking to the ideas as outlined in the post.

Unless you live like a savage, there will always be this issue of how technology hurts humans.

This is why the story of Adam and Eve exists. It is an allegory on this very topic. Humans are cursed with self awareness and it is what drives us to make everything around us better. We strive to improve on what God created, and that is the original sin for which we will forever be paying for.
