A society without rulebreakers doesn\u2019t challenge the rules, the status quo, the established consensus. Our society pretends to celebrate its entrepreneurs, its freethinkers, and its trailblazers. But in action, in decree, and in enforcement, today\u2019s societies passionately hate<\/em> its square pegs in the round holes, its challengers, and its troublemakers \u2014 yes, those very same people as it pretends to cherish. It does everything it can to preserve the beautiful present. The one component required for the troublemakers to break out of their cages is privacy.<\/p>\n

Most of us have seen Apple\u2019s \u201cThink Different\u201d campaign<\/a> that celebrates its internal culture, or what Apple likes to present as its internal culture. The ads<\/a> were lauded by a society, that pretends to embrace its message \u2013 but in reality, does anything but.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere\u2019s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They\u2019re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can\u2019t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The quote is beautiful. (And it\u2019s from Rob Siltanen, not from Steve Jobs, who initially called the quote utter rubbish in his typical managerial style.)<\/p>\n

The point is that most rules are not<\/em> okay to break. That\u2019s why we call them rules. They go by many other names \u2014 customs, taboos, expectations, norms, or traditions. And the key is that they dictate your behavior when observed by others<\/em>. But in order to advance society, in order to move its values forward, those rules must often be broken<\/em> \u2014 which they cannot be<\/em> if people are being observed by others, and there is a penalty attached to breaking the rule. It doesn\u2019t have to be criminal. It doesn\u2019t have to be formal. The penalty doesn\u2019t even have to be financial; a social penalty goes a very long way to constrain behavior to rules and expectations.<\/p>\n

The crucial observation here is that society only celebrates rulebreakers after they\u2019ve succeeded wildly<\/em>, like Steve Jobs. Never before<\/em> they\u2019ve succeeded. Never when they\u2019re in the progress<\/em> of breaking the rules.<\/p>\n

Why is this important?<\/p>\n

Because values change over time. We like to say they \u201cadvance\u201d over time. Even right there, we\u2019re putting subjective value to it \u2014 we say that the change over time is generally positive, as \u201cadvancement\u201d suggests so. It follows that the values we held earlier, as a society, were worse than the ones we have today.<\/p>\n

This advancement was made possible \u2014 slowly, over time \u2014 only due to privacy. The fact that people have been able to break some of society\u2019s rules in private<\/em> at first, then gradually to larger groups of people, has made it possible for society\u2019s values to evolve, to advance.<\/p>\n

I like to bring up homosexuality as an example here: if today\u2019s mass surveillance had been in place in the 1950s, homosexuality would still be illegal<\/em> and people born that way would be criminal from birth. For how many would dare stand up and protest when law enforcement is rounding up organized crime? That\u2019s what the human rights groups for homosexual people were, originally: organized crime. But it wasn\u2019t the human rights groups that were in error, but the contemporary definition of crime. Only through these groups was that definition changed, and society could advance, could become a little better.<\/p>\n

This brings a necessary followup question:<\/p>\n

What advancements are we making impossible today, at the society level, by creating a mass surveillance society where all laws, rules, and expectations are increasingly expected to be followed, and where the celebration of misfits are emptier words than ever before? Where privacy is no longer guaranteed, but rather prevented, by those governments which are supposed to uphold it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Privacy remains your own responsibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
