Explore the ethical and political dimensions of oblivion in this Stanford University seminar featuring Lowry Pressly as he discusses his book "The Right to Oblivion: Privacy and the Good Life." Discover why privacy's true value extends beyond mere data protection or information control, and instead lies in its ability to both protect and produce a unique form of unknowing that fundamentally supports trust, depth, and human flourishing. This hour-long talk, recorded on April 9, 2025 at Stanford University, challenges conventional understandings of privacy and presents a compelling philosophical framework for considering its essential role in our lives.
