Controversial theory, most of the people who claim to be "ready", and seem oddly excited about the possibility of upheaval and turmoil, are already lost down some sort of algorithm induced ideological rabbit hole. Conveniently, one of the symptoms of hosting an internet mind-virus, is that you don't think internet mind-viruses are all that bad.

All periods throughout history have been fraught with conflict and discord. So what.

Change comes regardless of whether anyone is ready or not. But the average Joes usually muddle through well enough.

I would call that attitude: pre-adult. It's drawing on false analogies to make an edgy point. It's not about "computers lying" (they've been lying since the first program), but on widespread counterfactual information, and the disappearance of the ability to distinguish between true and fabricated evidence. That's not something you already live in, unless you're psychotic.
