 Generally, advocate for less technology integration into culture if that makes sense. I don't believe there is a way to get away from the surveillance state without removing technology integration personally. I am specifically speaking of consumer technology, mobile phones, addictive software, social technology and so on. I'm not saying social media does not have it's importance, but IMO it should not be stable enough to form careers from, if that makes sense. The economic exchange of user engagement should not be sustainable enough. 

As far as software goes, I build and advocate self-hosting, people should physically own their data, and privacy should not be on the table as an economic good to be traded for convenience. Think one form of identification should not be the single key to my personal life and so on. 

If it helps explain it, I'm pretty opposed to DIDs at the moment. I want to own my data, but Id rather carry a briefcase around with my medical history from doc to doc rather than hold a key that just encrypts data on other peoples servers.
