I am delighted to see your new discussion of informational privacy where
you recognize the importance of the subjective experiences, as well as
recognizing that security and privacy are two rather different concepts,
each requiring different approaches. The two, however, are not independent,
so modifying one can impact the other.
My "strong" statement owes credit to David Brin, a well-known science
fiction author (with a PhD in physics) and also a frequent and
authoritative commentator on the real social issues that he writes about in
his fiction. David is a friend and frequent visitor to the Design Lab. See
his book "The transparent society" (which he is now rewriting and updating.)
