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.

Very good point. Civilization is built on economies of scale and specialization of work, which are often incompatible with any practical application of privacy.
