Certainly not everything, but isn't possible that there's a correlation between what people talk about with each other and their actions. This might give a glimpse into the future (and outcome of certain things) when it comes to talent shows or elections.
Theoretically I think it's great to live in a society were everyone can be themselves, without the need to 'fit in' with everyone else. To be able to do everything you truly want, without having to worry about what others might think. But I think that such a society isn't possible in the real world, since we tend to judge each other in a matter of seconds. I believe that if everyone knows everything about me, that doesn't make them judge me on the whole me, but only on the things that stand out. Just because I like to 'things' in my own home, doesn't mean that i'd like my colleagues to know about it. Or Facebook. Or the government.
It should always be my own decision (freedom of choice) to make something public.
Well I don't think a society problem can be fixed with cryptography.
Diogenes messages is clear: the less you need in order to be happy, the more free you are.
The first spying system seems to be in your brain not in the nature of the world, and it is called moral judgement; useless thoughts that make you vulnerable.
You can shield yourself more around your vulnerabilities (crypto), or you can totally accept to give up on your vulnerabilities (shameless UK/US).
Maybe giving up on moral crap and living as we really are would solve the problem much more than spending useless money on this topic.
Being shameless= 0$ (poor's weapon), good crypto = ...M$ (wealthy kid's weapon)
Sometimes I pledge for a clear business analysis for highlighting stupid ideas.
People claim they need crypto just in case they need to revolt (China...) and they cannot revolt against stupid stuff because they don't have tools. For being more free.
But being more free is above all a state of mind. And believing that submitting to more (technical) constraint is a necessity to be more free seems very idiotic to me. I think it a technical solution to a shared nevrosis of some illuminated developers that never took the time to open "good old paper books". Crypto is a shield to protect a vulnerability that can be avoided by accepting to wank in the public space.
Hey, geektarded, there are libraries with SMALL DATA. Pieces of knowledge written in intelligible way. It is called books.
Of course, you have then 2500 years worth of books about "the social contract", political science on how to solve the need to accept our differences (ourselves) and how to share a public space.
But I guess, coders suffer NIH syndroma since their hubris is exploding the standard reference set by Narciss. They seem to ignore old pieces of knowledge.
Sometimes, IT is making media more efficient to distribute shitload of new non information at the detriment of our past cultures that are loaded with a lot of them.
You'll never compete in the next revolution with books. Too slow; need a publisher on your side; the govt has all the electronic communication and can react/communicate instantly.
No, its about an escalating war and going back to bow and arrow is not going to win. Witness the Maginot Line in WWII etc.
Modern e-communications are available to folks of almost every wealth - witness in Africa that most banking is done on phones! Its a tired old argument that only the rich worry about computer tech.
I can't revolt as long as I have don't have the toools .... bouhouhouh.
You don't lack tools to achieve more freedom ; you just need willpower to fight for your freedom you gutless geek tarded.
What do you think is the problem at hand?
Words do not jump from books or internet in the head of the reader. The magical natural efficient media is .... something that internet obviously FAIL to provide.
Else you would have heard of one of the most famous writer of history talking about privacy. Geektarded.
