I agree that it's difficult to hide from; life would be pretty complicated if one was to attempt to avoid all the digital tracking and data collection, still, I make an attempt to mitigate some of the risks and it makes me feel good to know I'm taking the initiative...even though it's probably not all that effective.
I believe it's a little confronting to understand the capabilities that exist now and where they will be in five years...and what will be done with it...but I'm on the way out, I'll be dead sooner rather than later, so those issues will be for those left behind. I don't think the planet will be a nice place to live.

I know many would look at this statement and think, that g-dog guy is fucken bonkers, (they'd be right too) however it's my opinion and nothing I see suggests it will be otherwise.
I hope you're well mate.
Hear me out. Matrix like metaverse, but you have control over your world. You can be younger, do anything you want, eat anything, etc. You can be in the same metaverse as your family and friends. You will be plugged in a vat where you don't age, and you can visit them in their own world. There can be no pain or death, and you can 'go' anytime you want when you get tired of it.
That was my best take on a suggestion to make you think otherwise. But on a serious note, I get what you mean. The world is getting shittier to live in every year.
Lol, I've been unplugged from the Matrix pretty much my whole life.
Here's the thing, I don't want to be younger, I'm happy who I am. Besides, the world is descending to places I don't want to be part of; it will be a horrific place to live. I've been fortunate to have lived in better times, more simple and times in which certain values were upheld, values I value. These days...it's turning to shit and fortunately, at my age, I'll not be around in 30 years to be living in that shit. This doesn't mean I'm depressed about it, sad or otherwise...I'm a pragmatist; I'll die, it's a simple fact...so I make sure I live fully in every moment I'm given. It seems prudent. You'll die too, so I hope you're living well and present in the moments you have.
I'm not well.
Ah fuck man, I'm sorry to hear that and hope there's an obvious way forward. All the best moving forward and on the journey.
I'm sorry, I don't really have the right words.
There are no words.
Yep, I figured and understand, to some degree, why. Been there.
:o what's going on?
Hey man, you getting us worried, let's talk
Don't know where to start.
Start somewhere. People value you here.
