Privacy, Transparency, and Seth

I just finished reading David Eggers book "The Circle". It was an interesting, intriguing, and kind of creepy read. For those of you who haven't read it, it's in the mold of 1984 and Brave New World. In this case the totalitarian over-structure is Google-esk. In this future folks are connected to social media 24/7. Everybody knows everything. Eggers puts compelling arguments for the good of this in some of his character's mouths. I'm closing in on 60. I was raised in the "mind your own business" ethic. I found Eggers vision ghastly and repulsive as did most of the reviewers on Amazon. Here's the kind of thing I've been thinking about for the last four years. Think about what Seth tells us about how the world works. Telepathy operates all the time. Motives are transparent. There are no true victims. Oddly, this is not far from Eggers vision, though in the Seth Material it's accomplished "organically" and much more thoroughly. I'm having a lovely life in part, I believe, because I discovered the Seth Material pretty early. When I stumble across something like this I realize how narrowly I've interpreted the Material and that helps explain how few of the possible effects of the Material I've experienced. In a more Seth-like world would privacy disappear? Am I okay with that? If I'm really honest, my imagination of more Seth always involves other folks transparency while preserving my own privacy. I bet that's not the way it works. I have a lot more questions than answers these days. Cheers
