I mostly agree but would say wired is a better technology than wireless in terms of safety, reliability and cost. I only use wireless for an occasional phone call usually on the road in case of car trouble, with my keyboards and with my Visonic home security system sensors.

I tend to think consciousness is universally fundamental and effectively intrinsic, since all we can know is our experience that requires it. That's why we can never get behind consciousness, as noted by Max Plank in 1931. (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Max_Planck)
From non-dual teaching (Francis Lucille), you know it by being it and you are it when happy. In a different aspect, the answer is the same as to the question "how do you know you are aware?".

Learning the concept of meta, meta skills, particularly learning how to learn, distinguishing what is useful to learn from what is not, constructing a comprehensive view for navigation in all circumstances.
I agree with your lack of motivation because ultimately everything is connected so there cannot be any privacy actually. One thing this means is that privacy is egoity and the ego is a mental fabrication, totally illusory, however of convenience with a body in the world. In other words, don't worry about it. There is an assumption of practical common sense along with this viewpoint. Namely there is no expectation of publicising your credit card numbers, passwords, and the like. Practically it is usually best avoiding social media, minimizing the number of login accounts and often refraining from commenting on websites. In summary, if you really know who you are, there is no danger of being discovered, no danger of being omitted, nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing to keep private, nothing to publicize.
Absolutely right. Privacy was an Enlightenment concept granted to so-called "Enlightenment thinkers" which were really just egotistical white Europeans. It was a mistake for a country as great as the USA to think that privacy should be appropriated from a gray and troubling past.
Exactly! Also, where do we draw a line between private and public? Especially when you don't know weather the digital records of you today can be abused in the future. Like where should I draw this line and say, "yep this shouldn't be here". And even If I draw this line, what about my other loved ones? they have to be onboard on this too, otherwise this can all be futile. It's just such a huge topic and we don't really know what will happen in the future (except in china, man that's scary). And this may be the reason why there are people who don't care about it all, or people who are really paranoid, and somewhere in the middle who just don't know what to do.
My recommendation is that you read this regarding food allergies.
What I do is (1) avoid the medical community like the plague (except for dentists); (2) take other advice without immediate rejection, unless it is plainly wrong, but skeptically nontheless; (3) over a long time gather relevant information and always be on the lookout for it; (4) try some of this information in practice with personal experiments to see if and how it works and do not expect it to work forever if it works at first; (6) try to define what exactly you mean by "food allergy" preferably before attempting to fix it.
Generally what has helped me has been a balanced lifestyle with moderation in all aspects including diet, sleep, exercise, work, play and spirit, since they all interplay, but this balance may be highly individualized and can take some trial, error and instrospection to determine and may vary with time. In USA society work can typically be a big imbalance and has been so for me.
My experience is that much of what people commonly call food and other "allergies" is due to cumulative negative emotional responses or stress often coinciding with a lack of happiness in life. In such cases the cure is to find and be that hapiness.
