So how can we create a system that connects real people around the world with other real people in a way that garantuees exactly that? I honestly don’t know. But I’ve been thinking about that since 15+ years. And no matter what ideas I have, all of them return to the simplest question with a most complicated answer that goes beyond technology. How can I prove to you that I am a real person? And how can I be sure that you are a real person? It’s not solved. But it has a name ;) TCP/ID.

@jwildeboer We have reached a crisis point in history where there is a real danger that all information in the world is irretrievably poisoned, and I fear there is no cure |
It’s a theoretical construct ATM. But its implications can already be explored. Imagine a system, a black box, that reliably tells you who I am and that tells me who you are. Imagine that oracle exists. How would you build solutions on top of that? That’s what we can already do and #activitypub is one example of that way of thinking, IMHO. Though @evan might disagree ;)
