Monero.garden is an awesome Monero learning site for both beginners and advanced, but also touches upon some very simple but highly pragmatic philosophy for privacy

https://monero.garden/3-notes-for-humans/trying_things

But there’s a less discussed yet maybe even more pervasive phenomenon, self-censorship. When we’re being observed, we behave differently. Privacy is the freedom to try things out.

https://monero.garden/3-notes-for-humans/fresh_start

Identities formed in base of our true desires and interests will foster connections to people that make our lives better for us, to jobs that are a genuine fit for us, to knowledge that boosts our chances to feel our lifes balanced, and worth living. These identities have the chance to spill over, either gradually or in a sweep, to our meat space identities. If all those interactions are monitored, we face having too much risk and not daring to try. Or make it very difficult to even create such identity because of its ties to our current one.

Monero and Privacy are the keys to the utopian future where we aren't afraid to try to be better, do more, discover more, reach more.

There are more arguments for privacy in this site but this just one.

This is all so awesome. These kind of arguments prove that things like secrecy and privacy and freedom of choice dont need to boil down any more to these "well i should be able to do whatever I want" things. but in fact prove that they are necessary to literally make society better.

I really hope all privacy centric communities adopt these values and arguments as their primary points
