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?
Sometimes I’m stressed and wish I was a complete vegetable. Other than that, I pretty much always want to know things. Especially scary things like you’re talking about, because reality always collects sooner or later.
