Teaching 005 — Privacy, Convenience, Sovereignty

Context

The tension isn’t just privacy vs. convenience. The forgotten third is sovereignty — the individual’s right to self-agency.

The Triad

–1 = Convenience
Smooth logins, fast clicks, comfort at the cost of control.
0 = Privacy
The veil that guards intimacy, location, identity.
+1 = Sovereignty
The higher right: to know the rules, to choose, to leave the table.

Teaching

Without sovereignty, the fight between privacy and convenience is a charade.
You cannot truly choose if you do not know the game, or cannot walk away.

Covenant

“Convenience without sovereignty is consent without choice.”
