The idea of rights can be seen to emerge in large part from multiagent decision theory. This should not be surprising because moral intuitions arose as humans evolved living in groups. http://www.daviddfriedman.com/Academic/Property/Property.htm...


Sure but that doesn’t imply that it’s objective. I mean, I think there are two levels of objective: objective among humans, and objective among the universe. I don’t know any secular person who believes that morals fall into the latter category. As for the former, I don’t think anyone can suggest that the (lack of) a right to privacy falls into in that


I'm not sure quite what you mean by the last sentence.

A "right to be forgotten" seems to mean a conflict with the classic rights of others to remember what they know, and to tell each other what they know.


this is a very interesting article; thank you
