RE: Does Freedom Require Radical Transparency or Radical Privacy?
Remember that old saying. "He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves not one, nor the other". I think ultimate freedom and ultimate security are polar opposites. If we can live somewhere in the middle, we could balance our way across this tightrope of life.
Great article, Thank you!
Security is freedom is security so they aren't polar opposites. If you are free to do what you need to do to protect yourself for example. Less freedom (such as people in prison) doesn't mean these people are safer. Slaves had the least freedom and weren't the safest. In the holocaust, the people in camps had no freedom, and were not safe at all.
It's never freedom vs security. It's always a question of how to get both. You may prioritize security because without a life you have nothing, but then after being alive what is better than being free?
Yes true. Interesting thinking. Examples in a world of very diverse situations. Well then, If you are capable of having both, then I suppose the idea of freedom and security is not always on a spectrum.
