 PRIVACY AND ANONYMITY

The alienable right to privacy has a dubious reputation, it seems noble and perhaps it is, but observed with a magnifying glass it proves to be an imposition that transgresses the human capacity to perceive what really happens to us and to others, beyond serving spurious objectives such as lying and anonymity.

Our humanity is capable of lying and persisting in lying, even if it is blatantly exposed, because it is convinced that its inner life is impenetrable, that this dimension is solitary, private, inaccessible to others and that, therefore, it grants it the power to act anonymously, without other people recognizing you.

However, this positioning is artificial, because the inner, subjective life is the dimension where we are in telepathic communion without yet knowing how to navigate this condition with dexterity, including because, despite constant evidence, we refuse to accept the truth, preferring the artificiality that “protects” our privacy and anonymity.

The day will inevitably come when our humanity will have to recognize its true unified functioning and, thus, will stop claiming an artificial right to anonymity, or to a type of privacy that really only serves those who intend to commit crimes and tell lies.

Perhaps you will say that it would be unbearable for us to be transparent and tell the exact truth all the time. Well, I tell you, it's really unbearable to spend our lives and time maintaining pretenses, just to preserve our privacy and anonymity.

And then we go around complaining that we feel alone.

Not too far there and not too far here, the point is to reach a midpoint that more or less suits all parties involved. One thing is certain, it is necessary to reduce the intensity and frequency of conflicts.
