Knowledge, Learning, Community

As I commented in a meeting this morning, I just act as though all of my data is open and scrutinized by any number of external parties. If it's not the Chinese, then it's the American NSA, or my own government, or corporations like Apple, Microsoft or Google, and any number of their agencies, representatives and/or spies. What prevents everything I have from being stolen is not my firewall, but the laws that prevent my wealth (limited though it may be) from being taken and used by others. We will have to learn to live openly because it's a fallacy to think we can live securely.
