@Alturn8 @dgwbirch @civickey Have I seen you at IIW? The flow charts look familiar... Also how are you securing biometric data?
Most of the uses of blockchain for identity remind me of the use cases using @Johannes_Ernst 's OpenID for blogging/commenting.
It's like we're solving the same problem from 10 years ago throwing new technology at it. #blockchain #identity
My biggest concern with the blockchain/crypto community is how anti-human it is.
Using blockchain & coins for machine identity/IoT/machine transactions makes sense to me.
But the use case for humans is different. And does not seem to be fully understood.
What does it mean to be human in an increasing digital world?
It seems to me that many people in this digital world would prefer to make humans be more machine like.
When the opposite should be the case. Otherwise, let's just kill each other.
NoKorean drops their nukes but blockchain & machine to machine transactions live on.
Kind of like that world of machines in a Jack McDevitt novel. Humans be damned.
We're living through an evolution of our human species. Technology is not other from us. It *is* us.
To see technology as separate from humans, you may as well remove your thumb.
So when technology is developed to exploit humanness, I call bs on the creators. They lack humanity.
It's easy to look at digital in its own world. Because it's an escape from the messiness of being human.
But it's lazy and the people that do that are lazy. Embrace complexity. Embrace the possibility of futures you can never control.

@Alturn8 @dgwbirch also, LA is full of Peter Pans... :-/ All men here date 10-20+ years younger. I prefer my own age range.
@lpeterman :-/ It's pretty affordable compared to other confs. Talk to @windley or @IdentityWoman.

@bookofjoe does it work on AIs? ;-P
@Alturn8 @dgwbirch If the snow leopard should manifest, then I am ready to see the snow leopard. If not, then I am not ready. In the not-seeing, I am content.

@VladZamfir If you are serious about exploring the answers to these "soft" questions, I am right here & have a lot of experience.
Actually, technology is a human created thing. It's not opposed to humanity, but it can be & is used to dehumanize and exploit. https://twitter.com/VladZamfir/status/867995282340028416
@PChoksi1 @VladZamfir Since when has *any* technology delivered utopian promises? LOL. The present is littered with the unintended consequences of past solutions.
Haii ERIS! https://twitter.com/dgwbirch/status/868453863103266817
Creepy is when you arrive at your Mojave dome and the cresote is filled with insects that sound like tiny buzz saws. Can't wait for dark.

Just a typical sunday at dome sweet dome, psychedelic music in the loft and hours of zen. Totally stereotypical.
@dgwbirch but think of the children who live off clickbait.
In prep for memorial day tomorrow, I'm reading my poppa's memoirs. They are unpublished & very exciting at times!

Well it should fucking care about people's emotions. Money is ALL about people's emotions. This is a bug, not a feature. https://twitter.com/jimmysong/status/869239901124009984

Fascinating, but I might argue that an AIs voice has more emotion than some humans. https://twitter.com/dearsarah/status/869642887289372672
Apparently, I am currently obsessed with the emotional capability of technology - and the lack of it. Also the lack of it in humans.

Today is good. Ate breakfast before Noon, production tornado is tornadoing. I should take a legit weekend off more often.
Rebecca Solnit blew my mind years ago w/ A Paradise Built in Hell. It's in disasters we come together to rebuild & overcome. Kinda like now.

Solid June gloom in Los Angeles. Course, I don't mind the mist on my west side excursions. Vroom vroom mist in the night.
I just assumed it's a vodun invocation.

You write that like we have no power or inclination to do something about this. Like when have we ever followed authoritarian rules? https://twitter.com/Spacekatgal/status/869945227808825345
This is a complex situation w/ no silver bullet answer. Alternately, the silver bullet is a new economic model - a challenge in itself. https://twitter.com/Spacekatgal/status/869945560492642305
@Spacekatgal If you are not familiar with the "Limits to Growth" you might want to read it. It's terrifying, & been around since the 70s.
