In 1486, Pico della Mirandola wrote that humans alone shape their own nature — not by decree, but by choice. This was the Renaissance idea of dignity: that freedom begins within, and flows outward through thought, word, and creation.
Today, the EU’s “Going Dark” initiative seeks to place a key in every lock — to open every private channel of communication “just in case.”
But if every message can be read, every thought traced, what remains of the space where freedom once began?
Can a democracy born of Renaissance ideals survive when its citizens are never truly alone?
