It seems pretty inevitable we're headed toward a reality where there is no privacy. As one example, people are concerned about face recognition, but researchers have had success identifying people simply by their gait when they walk. As machine learning becomes more powerful, more and more of what we do will be exposed even if we close off the most obvious sources of information.
If the above is true, then the choice isn't between privacy and not-privacy; it's between fake-privacy where some people know All The Things but others don't, and openness.
It will be painful to get used to (depending on how fast the transition is) but I'd choose openness.
