Keeping the iceberg sacred
In the Flotilla, we teach that the soul is the hidden iceberg: what lies beneath the surface is sacred and unharvestable. This extends to our digital lives. The modern world treats your attention, your location, your relationships as commodities to be extracted. We reject this.
A data sanctuary is a physical or digital space where no surveillance is allowed, no personal data is collected without explicit consent, and the community gathers free from algorithmic manipulation. It may be a room with no cameras, a self‑hosted chat server, or an encrypted garden where penguins meet without being tracked.
Start with your own home: replace closed operating systems with open ones, use end‑to‑end encryption, and gather with your huddle in spaces free from commercial tracking. As the Flotilla grows, we will establish physical sanctuaries where the only current is the one we make together.
“The soul is the only iceberg; what lies below the surface is sacred and unharvestable.”
