I have some choices, but many of them require astronomical trade-offs in quality of life. For example, I do like the anonymity of cash, but using it for all of my bills, rent, online goods (not everything can be found in the city I'm in), and being paid exclusively in it from work is certainly not very easy (it is worse than this too - it is literally more expensive and we are seeing attempted reporting requirements for all cash transactions $600+, in addition to the ones we already have for $10k+). Even if I spent several hours a day going through tedious routines in attempt to preserve my own privacy to the utmost extent, I would still find I'm not only at a massive disadvantage in life (especially socially), but also that there's still countless sources of data on me that I simply cannot avoid (Sure you can avoid Facebook. But will everyone around you and that knows you avoid it? If not, you will still be tracked!).

To be clear, I don't advocate for a perspective of complete helplessness, there are a lot of things I do to reduce surveillance and tracking of myself. But I cannot have privacy be the sole criterion for living my life, because it would, simply put, result in a terrible life.
