“Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men”.

Whether it is private or public actors anyone who invades your privacy is your enemy.

Who made that quote? It’s kinda backward. Savages have more privacy because they are mostly alone. As soon as people start clustering privacy goes away. Civilization is trading privacy for the security and wealth of grouping up. Only people who live like Jeremiah Johnson have privacy. Everybody else gets to pretend.
