Do you think more people would gain awareness of issues like mass surveillance if they didn't have to constantly worry about subsistence? I think they would.

I think we're just going to have to pay for privacy. If it's important, and scarce, it will be up for sale. All societal social values and morals will be commoditized and assessed for purchase. No one is smart enough to know why this is antithetical to their society's interests.

More, yes, but it's not at all difficult for me to imagine it still ending up being a small chunk of the population anyway.
