(Like everything else he does, Elon Musk's policy of responding to media questions about Twitter with a poop emoji is just him copying things other people thought up, making them worse, and taking credit for them:)

Schmidt's actions do not reflect an attitude of "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place." Rather, they are the normal response that we all have to getting doxed.

When Schmidt and McNealy and Zuck tell us that we don't have privacy, or we don't want privacy, or that privacy is bad for us, they're disguising a demand as an observation. "Privacy is dead" actually means, "When privacy is dead, I will be richer than you can imagine, so stop trying to save it, goddamnit."
We are all prone to believing our own bullshit, but when a tech baron gets high on his own supply, his mental contortions have broad implications for *all* of us.
