In Computer Science, we have data and metadata. Allow me to illustrate. ‘City’ is metadata. ‘Austin’ is data (at least in my case).

Sovereignty & Responsibility
Sovereignty requires responsibility and responsibility demands sovereignty. Sovereignty is taking ownership of one’s life, one’s body, one’s thoughts, and one’s decisions. Beliefs are thoughts held more rigidly, and thus you take ownership of them too. Making decisions can be onerous, especially if you have been psychologically harmed in the past.
