I use ProtonMail, and I was thinking, “Damn, it’s spectacular not being tracked… but hold on a minute. Perhaps less than gmail, but still at all. And what about browser fingerprinting, and cookies, and even fonts!” I ended up in that feedback loop we all end up in. Perhaps ignorance is bliss? What is something you (might) wish you were ignorant of?

    That’s true, but as an individual, I can’t fix anything. I can be a tiny part of a greater movement, but whether such a movement will form is completely beyond my control. So is whether or not that movement would succeed. Of course, some people become more than mere passengers to global events, but that seems far beyond me at this point. The best I can hope to do is make a tiny difference within my community.
