    Privacy rights can be likened to a strong door keeping the wolves out.

    Another option would be to do away with the wolves.

    Which is cheaper for our society?

      How would you do away with the wolves today, if the non-wolves could become wolves tomorrow?

      I don’t see that as a possible option at all.

        I don’t know.

        The design of the door is a well-researched topic. The elimination of wolves, less so.

        One approach would be to feed the wolves. A well fed wolf has little interest in breaking your door.

        One approach to keeping the wolves fed might be UBI.

        An old approach is religious indoctrination.

      The door is cheaper.

      History has shown, time and time again, that any wolf-eradication program will, almost immediately, be taken over by the wolves themselves and used for their own cruel ends.
