An example is my kindle: My kindle is password protected and I would probably refuse somebody permission to see what I have on there. I have all sorts of books on my kindle. Lots of books about the Nazis, books about deception and manipulation, books about power tactics, books about psychology, books about seduction etc. I also have lots of books about philosophy, ethics, justice, morality, virtuous living. I'm doing nothing criminal or wrong and I do feel like I have nothing to hide. The problem is that if my bookshelf was public I feel like people would draw a lot of false conclusions about me. I can justify why every single book is there but the thing is in a world without privacy I'm not there to explain.

In a world without privacy and total transparency I then have to seriously consider every book I read. I have to think twice about reading Macchiavelli's the Prince or Robert Greene's 48 laws of power. It's not illegal but I probably wouldn't be able to read them because certain people might then form the impression of me as a sociopath. In a free society you should be free to do whatever the hell you like provided it's within the laws of state. The example I mentioned above shows how a lack of privacy affects your freedom.

There's all sorts of things that are legal but that you probably wouldn't do in a world of total transparency - like masturbating daily - playing video games to 4 am - you wouldn't be able to watch Netflix, use reddit as much because you would be ashamed if people really new just how much time you spent online etc etc

To sum up, not having privacy is shit because then you have to spend a great deal of time worrying about how people are going to interpret what you read, what you watch, how you spend your free time.
