Being Unseen is Freedom

Interesting how privacy has become a crime. Not just in China as described in the article below. In the US as well, but only for those in poverty. Ultimately the poor are feared by the unpoor. Their thoughts must be known...kinda like how some of the unwomen feel about women. Which for me this opacity I hold to a dominant group has offered me much freedom of thought. Something I cherish. It may be better to be unseen and opaque to others. When you get signs of drilling into your privacy (hacking etc), you know you are losing your opacity. That is a sign to become useless again so you can be free in your thinking. If you have to spend time thinking about the protection of your freedom, then you are no longer free.
