We watch the watchmen — Gabriel Custodiet

Jerm Warfare

About this episode

This episode was recorded for my UK Column show.

Gabriel Custodiet offers a thoughtful perspective on privacy, technology, and individual sovereignty.

He argues that personal sovereignty is essential in any political system—be it democracy or monarchy—enabling people to control what information they consume and which ideas they engage with. Privacy, though often overlooked, is framed as a vital shield against surveillance and a cornerstone of self-determination. Rather than treating it as an afterthought, it should be actively defended.

On the topic of technology, there's a strong push for open-source software and privacy-centric tools, presented as necessary alternatives to the pervasive surveillance of big tech.

The central idea is clear: by taking ownership of the tools and information we use, we reclaim agency over our lives and shape our own understanding of the world .
