My comments are anything but boring.

Could you please give me your full name and address?

Providing the information publicly shouldn't be an issue since you don't believe in the concept of privacy.

My full name and address are already publicly available in countless places, if you had any legitimate interest you should have been able to find them in less time than it took you to write that comment. Btw., so are yours.

Sure I don't pretend that that mine are no accessible but this is most of the time a conscious choice. I still have privacy but I just choose what information I make public.

Also for example my address is probably nowhere public because I didn't choose to publish it.

All I'm saying is, sure, privacy is comfortable and we are fond of it and we all have our insecurities, BUT... it's going away, whether we like that or not. And really, it never actually did exist. But that's okay because we should still be able to get along just fine without it (to the extent that any people on Earth ever did get along...) Moreover, I feel that we would actually be better off and able to move forward faster by giving up on concepts like privacy and security.

What do you mean by "giving up concepts like security".

Should banks get rid of vaults and stack money on the street curbs?

Though you are whining about downvotes. To such an extent that you comment on your own post exclusively regarding the subject.

Did you read any philosophical paper on this issue? I'm interested in reading more about your view.
