Agree with many of your key points. I have a lot of thoughts and reactions, but believe you have the goods and someone should take advantage. There seem to be a lot of talented people whose gifts are being ignored.
This is where being a realist helps: nobody uses email anymore (that's why Substack works, it's unpopulated bandwidth) - like all other technological leaps, language barriers erupt, and disruption occurs - The Worldwide Web was a major disruption, now taken by artificial intelligence - the pattern repeats - embrace the technology or be left behind.
Nowadays everybody is going to go dark (encrypted), the upside being the restoration of privacy rights, the downside being harder to get to decision makers - they don't answer emails, phones, fax, media. We are now in a world of virtual agents.
So, let the tech war begin! That's a game I can play.
When we finally get through this fog, I'm going to set the upstarts to tears.
How dark do you want to go? All the devices currently in use are obsolete (unsecure) and the privacy cow has left the barn - unless, of course, you desire a life in the arctic and even then, you might have to hunt for food out of season. Reasonable privacy can be found by simply throwing all the devices away.
So, you see, this is in fact a struggle for survival. We're all going to have to engage it in one way or another.
The digitals are just a game; the real threat is hardware. I'm going with the hardware people.
Our survival depends upon the people who build things and make things regardless of our technological prowess, political whims, geographic location etc. The spellbinders repeatedly allow the hardware to be turned against populations. When the hardware people figure this out, they will once again build for themselves.
That's when balance is restored. It's more than just a job.
I know I've subscribed but haven't paid. How do I make a payment?
You don’t have to make a payment; your access will always be free. I just mentioned it as a metric for example (no ID).

If you have encryption or VPN recs, would love to know! Not my bailiwick but should get my act together on the privacy front.

Hope you hardware folks save the day!
Thanks for that reality check. I've always had a highly curated online presence but not always careful on the cell. But who can live like a robot?
