1 小时 55 分钟You've dedicated your life to preserving privacy.
So let's just start big picture.
What is privacy and why is it important?
So I believe that privacy is core to freedom at the end of the day.
I would even go as far as saying that it is synonymous with freedom and it is protecting you,
protecting your inner core essentially, protecting your identity as a human being from forces that do n't want you to be.
Individual and a human being at the end of the day.
That was so nicely put.
I think what it really boils down to is And in that regard,
I think privacy is relatively similar to what was originally intended also
with the Second Amendment in the United States.
It is a tool for you as a human being to protect yourself against coercive force,
against your very soul, your inner core.
So there are forces, and this has always been true at every time in history,
that seek to make people less human, to turn.
Human beings into slaves or animals or objects and privacy is the thing that prevents that.
So the crazy principle that exists within this universe is that there 's this asymmetry baked right
into the very fabric that we exist in.
There 's certain mathematical problems where the effort required to undo them is n't just scaling linearly
or exponentially, but that scales so violently that the universe itself prohibits.
