"Privacy is not 'important': it is a necessary foundation for the existence of the human species." - John McAfee. Critical truth or ranting of a wild man?

This is from a fascinating episode of the wonderful James Altucher Show podcast.

"Privacy is not 'important': it is a necessary foundation for the existence of the human species. Privacy is something that we choose, and we choose it constantly. You just don't notice that you're doing it. We choose privacy as a method of our own self interest and self maintenance. If we don't have privacy, what are we? Seriously.”

• John McAfee on the James Altucher Show, "The Most Interesting Man in the Universe", podcast ep. 132
