Get rid of social media
Allow consumers access to their own metadata
Put obama and clinton behind bars

Invest in AI research and hope the singularity solves scarcity. Either that or it wipes us out.
Seems like problem solved no matter what

Embrace Christianity. Oh wait we're all socialists now, we can't do that.

a big fucking war to snap us out of post-materialistic and consumerist nightmare. people in the west, on a large scale, need to know and understand what it feels like to suffer severe economic and physical insecurity and instability. would uncuck a lot of people fast

Find a way to change human nature.
Make things less nice, desu.
Jk.
The only way I became disillusioned with material gains was after a lot of time reflecting on my life and reading/listening to a lot of really intelligent/thought-provoking people.
So, I guess... time? Dunno. Maybe everyone needs to slow down and work it out logically or something.
Let's table this for now.

If you mean an AI messiah and the rapture as people's brains being put in a jar and forcibly uploaded into a neural network,

I've never been very materialistic. My parents didn't have any time for me as a kid but they gave me every toy I wanted. I'd rather have spent time with my parents than with my toys though.
Maybe that's the key to all of this. Maybe happiness isn't a good thing.
