Yes. I agree. The problem is the definition... Government types think it means "registered and paid up" to be legally enforceable, if disputed by the public. These types love to say "You're not free!" because they want to be the middleman to collect and protect your privacy (aka property, ownership, rights, etc)... Toilet-using types think it means "don't look" (aka secrecy). Egalitarians, like JFK, hated secrecy and found it to be repugnant when used for covert means. Technology and encryption give us the hope that the role of privacy enforcers can be subsumbed into the trustworthy, unbiased, cold and mechanistic gears of uncaring maths and machines, but this idea of complete autonomy and primacy at the undividual's level, scares the living daylights out of authoritarian types. Not only will they lose their jobs, but new and untold possibilities will emerge for EVERYONE. This pandoric panic drives authoritarians to seek control of the internals of the machine in order to decipher and rewrite the encryption keys to our Freedom. As the immense gravity of technology pulls the apex of the pyramid down into the ground plane of commonality, the all-seeing eye will either be blinded at the ecliptic or sink lower to stare at us from below, in the underworld. Perhaps the inversion has already happened and we are fighting to level the playing field back to the ecliptic plane of fairness and rightness.

Can you give us a shorter URL that will show up in a wifi list on one line?

Someone close too me, once boasted, "I don't care if 'they' have my info!" I said, "Well, THEY had BETTER care MORE than you do!" LOL... I hardly ever win arguments, but that time, I think it got through. I didn't get any comebacks! 😁
