humanity is 300k years old and we've been online for only 30 years. the erosion of privacy today will have lasting consequences for hundreds, maybe thousands of years to come. if we don't fight for privacy today, we won't be able to fix it in the distant future. this scares me.

It makes me want to hang myself thinking about it. Listened to this yesterday with @Jack Spirko and Hakeem Anwar. The shit with the schools and computers 🀬

GM NOstr Unfortunately, the layperson just doesn't understand enough concepts in general. Most of you still probably use a basic Android or Apple device. One could also argue many just don't care until they need to. Humans just make their will and lives more difficult. They don't do anything about most things and a government or corporation comes in and takes advantage of the situation. If you don't lead yourself, you will be led. It's the same argument that poor people are arguably the biggest disaster for humanity. Keep people poor, and you can keep walking all over them. If most people are poor and busy dealing with that then governments and shady corporations can make the rules. View quoted note β†’

The problem with that is that "freeple" will be maybe 1-5 % of the amount of "sheeple". No network effect, no wealth, as the rest wouldn't want to trade with "terrorists" and whatever they come up with. And no defense if they were to decide the "freeple" are a serious threat. This is not a viable way alone. Advocacy, lobbying, etc. is also required. And most of all information, not many even know that things are being planned, at least here in EU.

You mean "know"? Ironic. And the passive aggressive "god bless you" is not a Christian way to speak. You wanna be a Christian, demand better from yourself. You want stuff to be easy? Too bad. That's not what you signed up for. Following Christ means following logos. Go look up what that means. You are **_required_** to use your brain, not parrot retarded garbage.
You're πŸ’―% correct, but it goes so much further. We're not socially evolved enough for (especially mainstream) social media. Our bodies aren't evolved to sit still for this long every day. Our communities aren't evolved enough to comprehend a state ruling over millions. Our primitive trade brains aren't evolved to understand global flows of wealth. We must fight against the centralization/globalization of all these things.
Humans started out with no privacy due to the extremely hostile environment and our constant dependency on eachother for daily survival. I'm guessing the idea of privacy is something that comes and goes throughout history and like today is reserved for the "upper-class".
treat private data like toxic waste. don't produce it and if you must, better have a plan for how to secure it.

Yes. I agree. The problem is the definition... Government types think it means "registered and paid up" to be legally enforceable, if disputed by the public. These types love to say "You're not free!" because they want to be the middleman to collect and protect your privacy (aka property, ownership, rights, etc)... Toilet-using types think it means "don't look" (aka secrecy). Egalitarians, like JFK, hated secrecy and found it to be repugnant when used for covert means. Technology and encryption give us the hope that the role of privacy enforcers can be subsumbed into the trustworthy, unbiased, cold and mechanistic gears of uncaring maths and machines, but this idea of complete autonomy and primacy at the undividual's level, scares the living daylights out of authoritarian types. Not only will they lose their jobs, but new and untold possibilities will emerge for EVERYONE. This pandoric panic drives authoritarians to seek control of the internals of the machine in order to decipher and rewrite the encryption keys to our Freedom. As the immense gravity of technology pulls the apex of the pyramid down into the ground plane of commonality, the all-seeing eye will either be blinded at the ecliptic or sink lower to stare at us from below, in the underworld. Perhaps the inversion has already happened and we are fighting to level the playing field back to the ecliptic plane of fairness and rightness.
One big solution... Is it possible to break or crack earth's magnetic field? If yes, then this can be a solution. To stop surveillance we should shutdown internet, to shutdown whole internet we need to dismantle satelites, to kill all satelites we need to disturb magnetic field. Win : No internet, No surveillance, no control. Drawback : We will go back in stone ages, and restart. I'm just being delusional here. Btw: Scientist already noticed some cracks in Earth's magnetic field.

Cracks Are Appearing in Earth's Magnetic Field as the Equinox Approaches
The phenomenon could mean that more auroras are visible across the northern hemisphere as the fall equinox approaches this month.
