  • Keep doing your thing, it will reduce the probability of being owned. Maybe you can’t avoid to give your data to the government, but you can change to a bank that doesn’t require it. You certainly can buy things without giving up your biometric data. You can absolutely ditch social networks that want to have it. Of course, if you have a store and want to sell in this specific marketplace, then you can’t avoid anything of this, except maybe the bank, but you still should try a different bank if there is an option.

    It’s not pointless to deny your data to, say, Elon Musk or Google, if you already gave it to get your passport.


  • I concur with those Beach House suggestions and add maybe EMA, Slowdive and possibly Cocteau Twins and Piano Magic. Maybe even the work of Brian Eno in Another Green World?

    Oh, and by the way, “shoegaze” is nothing more than a journalistic name to group all bands in the popular musical scene that made a heavy use of pedals to distort or generally modify their guitar sound. They spent so much time watching at their pedals in contrast of earlier guitar players, that they looked like they were gazing at their shoes.
