Indeed information is power. Imagine someone (e.g., government and private companies) knowing more about you than you about your own self. How would life be for you? What kind of person would you be? Slave? Of course a slave!
Woe be tide you if/when you have no idea what the government, central bankers, and big tech companies, are up to.
Being on SN and reading posts like @DarthCoin and Co. makes me more knowledgible and empowered. The world is currently filled with trash cooked and served by the powers that be.
