RE: Does Freedom Require Radical Transparency or Radical Privacy?

in #eos7 years ago

What you meant is perfectly achievable but it works only when we lose the fear of the other.

As long as the truth of this world is that 'the other people' can hurt us, this will not work, as our transparency will make us the target. At the best we can defend ourselves that we are the right people and the others are bad ones, while still being the victim and perpetually suffering.

But this will be different in a world in which the truth is that we are the product of our thoughts and the others can touch us only if we allow them to. In that kind of a world, your idea works perfectly.

Then the question becomes, which of these truths holds true in our world, and it had been historically impossible to choose an answer agreeable by everyone.
