Naomi Brockwell's latest video argues a pragmatic approach to privacy is wrong. I agree with her 100%. I believe the same people who argue that true privacy is impractical are the same people who believe "AI" is inevitable. They are driven more by convenience than values.

Dare to be inconvenienced.

Privacy is a right.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think you have to change everything at once and every step you take to improve your privacy is a win. Everyone has a different threat model. You should care about the data that is harvested at your expense.

Dare to be Disconnected.

We are living in a permanent state of emergency, where every notification feels like a demand and every scroll feels like a duty. We have mistaken being informed for being engaged.

True presence is a revolutionary act in an attention economy. When you disconnect, you are not missing out. You are opting back into the physical world. You are choosing the air in the room, the weight of a book, or the person sitting across from you

Silence is not an empty space. Instead, look at it as it is where your own thoughts get a chance to be heard.

What would happen if you gave your full attention to something that couldn't give you a notification in return?

Dare to be forgotten.

We have all been trained to think if we did not document it, it did not happen. We have turned our actual lives into content, constantly performing for an audience that isn't even really watching.

There is freedom in the undocumented. If you stop worrying about how a moment looks, you will start noticing how it actually feels. You no longer ask, "How will this look?" and instead ask, "How does this feel?"

Privacy is not just having secrets. It is having a life that belongs to you and not a data center. Some things should not be for sale. Some things are better when they are just yours.

What if the most important thing you did today was something nobody ever found out about?

Dare to be inconvenienced.

We have been trained to prioritize "seamless" experiences over ethical ones. But every convenience has a hidden cost, whether it is labor rights, environmental impact, or the erosion of privacy.

Efficiency is a metric for machines, not for a meaningful life. When we stop choosing products solely for their convenience, we reclaim our agency. We choose local over global, human over algorithm, and sustainable over instant.

What would happen if we stopped using services that do very little good for society, even if it means taking the long way around?
