Overview
For people living under a tyrannical system privacy is an important protection, but as technology advances that protection under existing governance systems is fast eroding, privacy protects those in power who do evil while average citizens are afforded little privacy.
Under a majority rules system social morality will hopefully be a protection against acts of evil enacted by those with positions of power.
A self governed community who holds truth seeking as a high priority benefits greatly from high levels of transparency, meaning a loss of privacy. Both in the ability to make rational decisions and in delivering just judgments when conflicts arise.
False promise of privacy
The argument for privacy should be viewed with skepticism, it is argued that privacy protects the innocent, however outside of tyrannical systems good people rarely need privacy, it is evil people in power who benefit the most from privacy.
Systems created with good intent to serve the population turn into concentrations of power due to evil people corrupting the system behind a feigned need for privacy of their actions.
Because of this when positions of power are implemented they should have a high level of transparency applied to them.
Embarrassment
The desire for privacy for normal people often relates to issues that they feel embarrassed about. In a community where humility, kindness and respect are considered important concepts educating people not be embarrassed of the truth should alleviate these feelings.
Vote transparency
All voting systems can be compromised, public voting is a solution to ensure the trustworthy of vote results.
Arguments against public voting
- Coercion
- see Coercion
- Negative treatment
- fear of being treating badly according to your vote, for services that should be delivered fairly without bias the same solutions for coercion can be used. For other more personal situations members should be educated to respect other's positions, and be confident enough to stand strong and explain their beliefs, regardless of personal consequences.
- Being misunderstood
- educating the Socratic method should allow people to show logical reasons why they voted the way they did, and if they can't explain it then they should reconsider their decision. Misunderstandings are an opportunity to grow as a thinker and seeker of truth.
