This is the third and final instalment of my series on the privacy of our data. Having explored our own surrenders and the illusion of voluntary transparency, it is time to ask the most unsettling question of all:
What are we leaving our children? Not a material inheritance, but an inheritance of outlook.
For they are born into a world where intimacy fades before it has even existed, where surveillance dresses up as play, where freedom is confused with being permanently connected. What was a loss for us is, for them, a given. Where we see an invasion of privacy, they simply see life.
This podcast examines that silent shift: how do you pass on inner freedom to a generation that has never known secrecy? How do you teach depth to those who have been taught to expose themselves? And above all, what will be left of freedom if we forget to teach it to them?
