I definetly take things too far in terms of my effort vs my current threat model. But there are many aspects of trying to increase privacy.
For one, I’m very interested in the philosophy, ethics and politics of privacy and adjacent fields such as security. Part of what I do is just learning.
Also I try to be a good role model to my AFK peers and family. Of course I don’t try to get everyone to adopt my hobby. But as in every field it’s hard to teach even the basic stuff to others without deeper understanding of the field.

That’s so true, but even more true in IT… It changes so rapidly and things don’t stay the same over time… It’s not like a degree in Biology where things you learn stay relatively the same !
IT is 5 inches deep but miles long ! (Something like that!)
