Perhaps as I stated it, yeah it seems unrealistic.

However I do think there’s value in gentle, consistent evangelism of privacy in ways that don’t make people feel bad. Most folks actually don’t want their deeply private stuff to be accessible. I’ve found that there are good analogies and ways to think about it that folks can get on board with and start caring to some extent.

I absolutely agree that political progress is the ultimate solution. I think the only way that will happen is if enough people demand it.

A good start would be for the government to stop trying to bully tech companies into compromising on their privacy.
