CommunityIdentityAuthenticity

This community…has its challenges.

Harnessing its own enthusiasm and energy to affect real change

It’s a challenge…

Moving together

despite differences in the details

Getting the populace to understand

what we can barely understand and

communicate

between ourselves

It’s a challenge…

Communicating the understanding and importance of internet identity

to the average member

of society

It’s a challenge…

Trust

Divergence versus Convergence

Policy evaluation privacy evaluation

I just feel like shouting out …

My life
My terms:
Choice, Privacy and Control !

Like shouting…

One hundred and eighty passwords — and counting — is too many !!

Shouting

Where’s the money?!

We need to get out of the technology ivory tower!

Shouting

V R M!

I feel like shouting

We are all painting variations on the same picture!

what the image is.

And then I think, if I were the user, I would say

Don’t rock the boat!

I would say

Keep it simple and make it just…work.

Why can’t you make this easier for me?

I would say…

What is actually happening here?

Here is what I wish for the future:

I wish it would .. “just work” … for users.

Here’s what I hope for:

Something my dad can use and not get phished.

Here is my dream:

That we get how to engage in real-value, consensual transactions

Here is my dream:

Breaking down power structures

safe and powerful for everyone

in all contexts

Becoming invisible

and indispensable

Authenticity.
