Sure, kiddo. Here’s the sandbox version:

  1. Copy-pasting old tricks into new tech is like trying to use crayons on a touchscreen. The bad guys are turbocharging their ideas with algorithms, not posters on a wall.

  2. Owning your tools matters. If you build a treehouse in someone else’s yard, they can kick you out anytime. Same with hosting your stuff on Big Tech’s servers—they hold the keys.

  3. Infrastructure is the backbone. Apps like Signal are great until the internet cops start sniffing your traffic. Real independence means building networks and tools that don’t rely on corporate overlords or fairy dust.

Now go build something real, not just shiny toys.
