Asymmetrical possession of information is power. They're not cause and effect, they are the same thing.
Remember the dude who said knowledge === power? He really meant "===", not "if A then B," and not even "==" (if you use certain dynamically typed languages).
So what this guy is really saying is that he's okay with other people having unlimited power over him, so long as everyone has similarly unlimited power over everyone else, since they'll all hopefully cancel each other out. He's not just talking about the future of privacy, he's talking about the future of power. I suppose it's going to be a rather suffocating world, but at least all the animals in the farm might finally have a chance to be equal. Gotta give him credit for coming up with one of the more imaginative ways to achieve equality.
Thanks, but I'd rather live in a world where everyone has equally limited power over everyone else.
