While I cannot speak for the author, I can conjecture what the author may be communicating. We live in a world with increasing levels of surveillance. Financial transactions are recorded and centralized, phone usage meta-data is catalogued and hoovered up, travel is regulated and tracked, Internet usage is monitored, and the drag-net of information collection rages on. There are proponents of the surveillance State that say, "If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to worry about." This trope is of course nonsense and unconstitutional (US) among other things. However, if you truly have nothing at all to hide, then everything about you is known or can easily be made known, because you hide nothing. For such people who have exposed all, there is no mystery, no discovery, no unknowns. And therefore, there is nothing interesting remaining to be known.
