Privacy is a 1 dimensional spectrum which runs from living in isolation on one end to living under thought police on the other end. You cannot move towards the end of privacy without losing control over your thoughts. In the world you're describing, everything everyone says will be recorded. Neural networking will be used to process tone and read body language to determine your thoughts before you even consciously recognize them. As a child you will be trained to recognize and halt bad thinking subconsciously. Consider the episode of The Office where Jim is offered the position of branch manager, and he turns it down because he thinks everything's working fine without a branch manager so why have one? Never pass up the chance to take an active role in sustaining a good thing. If you feel the balance of privacy is good today, take an active role to ensure it slips no further, or else someone with more ambition than you will gladly push that point along the line a little further.
