1.) Privacy

So, I had all these ideas about privacy. I was going through how when people are private everyone's more isolated, how no one knows what everyone's experiencing and how a norm is then super-imposed by media/business/government, How it's easier to exploit such a private people lacking a self-derived identity, and how this relates to culture, to socialism--
And then, I realized this was just Private Property. I had just stumbled upon the foundations of socialism through a different type of property: information.

Oh well.

At the very least, I think it goes to show how thoroughly an ethos infuses itself in a society; I see the lower emphasis on privacy, whether it be personal privacy or private property, almost everywhere in Spain. I would never have expected it to be so consistent. That's the next post though.
