Hello, I think for a lot of people, Digital ID, much like the Covid Vaccine, is a hill to die on and because of this it has the ability to dismantle peoples lives as well as offer opportunities for new experiences and developments. We should cast our minds back to the pandemic and reflect; Where did I go wrong? How would I have acted differently? What worked and what didn’t? Did I waste time? How did it feel to achieve victory? Make no mistake; the world would have been a very different place if there wasn’t such a push back and we would already be using digital ID’s, to a certain degree, if the vaccine passports had come into place. It is possible to deter, deflect, postpone and, with a little help from my friends, destroy the agenda. Although I know this to be true, when I scroll through my phone and read about the intricacies and the realities of Digital ID and it’s full implications I get a harrowing feeling of fear, of doom, of hopelessness. I imagine myself and my family finding a way out, is there a country I can move to? A tent I can live in? A secret avenue which exists inside the language of law written hundreds of years ago that I can run down? There may be, for now, but the feeling of fear will not go away. My biggest learning from navigating the pandemic is understanding that fearing is consenting. It is when we rise above this emotion that we find our ability to change the direction of humanity, society and our own personal experience. These are my ramblings for now. I’ll be at the protest in London on December 13th. Let’s make it a big one.
