 Therefore here is **how to 100% solve privacy**: make it moral to make ALL information public, always, without any censorship, "protection", laws and other bullshit. { NO, it's fucking NOT a joke or "satire", I am 100% serious. More like 3000% actually. It's extremely smart, that's why people don't do it. ~drummyfish } This way passwords will become obsolete, which has a nice side effect of also ending a lot of capitalist bullshit such as banking and [intellectual property](intellectual_property.md), people will have to start sharing. Governments and corporations will also start taking extreme advantage of the situation, so people will stop using online technology as much and maybe they'll even finally decide to ditch governments and corporations, another great leap in development of society. People will also stop being concerned about their "private data" -- at first they will be freaking out that everyone can see their dick pics and what porn they jerk off to but since EVERYONE's data will be visible, they will find out that everyone watches weird porn, that everyone has a dick (well, about half of population), and they'll just stop acting like chimps in a while. This literally only has advantages and it solves many of our greatest issues all at once. At this point privacy has been solved. { Leave the Nobel Prize at my door, thanks. ~drummyfish }
 
-{ I'm thinking of a life experiment: start living without a password. In it I would literally make my password public on my website and start to somehow live like that, i.e. I would stop using a bank account, I would stop using social media accounts, would just host my own git repository and email. That doesn't even sound so difficult, I'll probably give it a try one day. ~drummyfish }

+UPDATE: Well, I must admit it IS difficult to do nowadays. Some people even shared their passwords with me now, I am ashamed I still wasn't able to do the same. Some people kindly asked me if I could share my password with them and I have to admit I feel very bad about not being able to share my super secret password, though I tried to share at least my weaker password and a few other secrets. If you're not one of them please don't ask me for it now, when I want to do it I'll do it publicly, it's something that I DO feel anxious about right now because I am not yet ready for this big step, it's an ideal I want to reach one day but am not strong enough to do at this point -- kind of like becoming homeless or even abandoning all earthly possessions, I wasn't strong enough to do it yet, but I still think it's something to aim for that could be greatly freeing. I dislike it when people just talk without acting, but I have to say this is much more difficult than sharing my nudes or releasing all my works into public domain, the system is set up to make this a kind of suicide, and one must take some steps to be able to withstand it, just like one has to train before climbing a high mountain. I am shitty and weak and cannot do everything I would love to do immediately, I really wish to do it at one point. ~drummyfish }
 
 **As of 2023 privacy is impossible to achieve** unless you live in wilderness completely independently of the main "civilization". If you use any kind of computer (laptop, TV, phone, car, camera etc.), you are already being watched: basically all [CPU](cpu.md)s have proven hardware spyware in them capable of bypassing encryption, see [Intel ME](intel_me.md) etc., no matter what operating system you use, and even if you use some obscure CPU without it, you are watched through your Internet activity (even if you use a "secure" browser, which you most likely don't even if you think you do), your browsing habits are watched and analyzed by highly advanced [AI](ai.md) that can track you even without cookies etc., e.g. just from your writing style, patterns of repeated daily activity, mouse movement signature etc. -- all small fragments of information about your activity such as those mentioned above and your locations over time (known from your phone connecting to towers, someone else's phone detecting your voice, street or car camera detecting your face, credit card payments etc.) are connected with other fragments of information (even those of other people) and AI makes a complete picture of your life available to those who need it. You may think you're doing everything right and that they can't find you, but it's enough if e.g. someone from your family posted a picture with you on facebook 10 years ago or if you as a child played online games -- this is enough to know which people you are related to and them being tracked then leads to you also being tracked to a big degree despite you using 7 proxies and living underground. If the government furthermore decides to watch you more (which may happen just because you e.g. try to "protect" your privacy more and start using [Tor](tor.md), which is suspicious), they can just watch you in real time through satellites (even inside buildings) and so on. So you just have to accept you are being watched, and unless we end [capitalism](capitalism.md), it will only be getting worse (mind reading technology is already emerging).
