Consent to data use is one avenue towards improving the internet, but too often it's merely about being bamboozled by some legaleze or some strange icons and clicking "I agree*. That's not really meaningful consent though. I think genuine consent will only be possible within community managed systems in which you or someone you trust stores the data.

Repeat after me:

My experience is not everybody's experience.

My perspective is not everybody's perspective.

My "obvious" is not everybody's "obvious".

If the idea of progress is to be saved - if it can be saved - it must drop any allusion to constant expansion, and re-center around social and physical sustainability.

The old expansionist idea of "progress" is exactly how we have multi-billionaires enthusiastically sending humans to the moon while the Earth is dying.
