I come from the analog age. I don't know what happened to me that I got so sucked in to all the technology and gave up my data so freely! I found that the mindless control of it filled some sort of void in me. Now I am back pedalling slowly, trying to find my boundaries between selling my soul / convenience/ being part of the world as it is/ regaining some autonomy! It's a complicated web. Giving up my smart phone for an old Nokia..... I miss GPS.....ffs!! I am learning to be okay with getting lost again. It is challenging to learn to be an off grid human in a world of controlled robots.... no disrespect meant to them, I was them too. Strange times.
Personally, I'm hoping for a massive realignment that continues to mitigate and ideally eliminate the barriers to this vision of autonomy in the digital world. You're absolutely correct that there is no real reason to spend any time worrying about the..intangible at the expense of each other.
