The Illusion of Privacy in the Online Age
2:31:51 2024-07-18 1416

Any discussion of privacy in the year 2024 tends to refer to digital privacy. Within this sense of the word, “privacy” means your right to prevent others from accessing certain information about you that is on the internet. While this is certainly important for anyone who regularly uses the internet for social media, shopping, or banking, it is but one kind of privacy.

If one steps back even further, one can find an even more elemental meaning of the word “privacy,” one which refers to the ability of a person to retreat into their mind. For Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset, this ability to withdraw from the noise of the world, when coupled with the ability to engage in critical thoughts, was referred to as ensimismarse, which is usually translated as “to become engrossed in thought.” For Ortega y Gasset, this was a unique human capacity on which he predicated our species’ great intellect. It was also our way of coping with the difficulties of the world. According to him, we are confronted with and frustrated by an obstacle or difficulty (alteración); we retreat into ourselves to devise a theoretical means of overcoming the problem (ensimismarse); and we then reemerge and apply the theory developed while deep in thought in the real world (praxis).

This process accounted for not only our intellectual abilities as humans but also our individualism. Each person confronts problems to which only they can respond and for which only they are responsible. As Jean-Paul put it, “We are alone, with no excuses.”
