But the Social Self has other options, social options, such as language, teaching and learning, leadership, love, reading, writing, dialog. Even so, it is impossible for the Social Self to completely shake off its sense of embodiment. As Social Selfs, we don't know, so we remain embodied. But the Social Self can escape its sense of embodiment sometimes, as we do when we are absorbed in ideas, music, or conversation. The Social Self is thus tethered to the body, by a tenuous rope.
Privacy is related to our understanding of physical embodiment.
For example, the contents of my wallet are private as a practical matter because I keep them in my wallet, which I do not share. But there is nothing intrinsically private about those contents. They are in principle, sharable. That's why we believe our minds are private. The Sensorimotor Self is embodied by definition, so it is private.
