Jonathan Haidt sure ain’t no layman and is very much against online anonymity

“it's really just a precursor to attribution of speech, particularly attributing your words to your real identity.” How silly to remember that’s how mankind interacted and verified information and reliability for millennia, before Social Media made sockpuppetry trolling and lynch parties the favorite tools for social change. But I guess most Social Media users must be whistleblowers and/or living in totalitarian states.

Your capital has made you lonely, moreover, redundant as you have no needs. You cannot be coerced into a job, medical bills are no bankruptcy inducing issues for you (which is rather boring too), no need to work for the man.

And like a chipmunk sitting on a mountain of nuts anyone you meet wants one so nobody acts normal. Again how sad and lonely.

me i live in a blue collar neighborhood with people getting by and we look after each others kids and pets and gossip and share tools - trying not to sound too romantic but that's how it is. Sometimes I sweep the streets because I like it. Please enjoy your capital. I’m not jealous at all, why should I? Don’t want to be a Midas, everything golden and hungry. I have community purpose and people to look after. For me, that’s wealth.

Simple rule: if it is possible it will happen. If you want total security, go analog.

Strategically, apple showed its cards. But then again, that was bound to happen too ;-)
