    sounds dystopian.

    So does the total death of objective fact.

    An end to internet anonymity isn’t great, but given the alternative I’ll take it.

        Truth is never subjective. Truth is Truth. People have different opinions on where the truth lies but there’s is an objective reality to anything.

        Based, destroy the infantile mind of the materialist objectivist determinist this space is reserved for more future jargon tech-bro.

        Truth is subjective precisely because I can say that the sky is red, and I will be correct. If you ever needed any help understanding that then you should’ve been paying attention to the difference in reporting between ukraine and gaza right now. It’s not just “spin” either, I can plague you with misconceptions, turn you into a conspiracy theorist, warp what you think is really important in life. I can bullshit you, I can call a horse a chair, and I will be correct. Do you understand why there’s no truth now?

        Also fucking weird that the counterargument to “government issued crypto ID” is “well, we don’t want the total death of objective fact, do we?”. those two things definitely seem connected, those seem related. Definitely seems as though we couldn’t just use another adversarial bot to run checks on whether or not any given thing is manufactured, entering into in a perpetual propaganda arms race that corporations and those with money and power are always going to win, in an unregulated and dystopian modern internet. All of which is what’s already fucking happening. Seems like the solution to that would just be to double down on the police state tracking, which I would expect to be something that has concrete repercussions on the powerful, and never the common man, of course.

        Why do we live in hell?
