Beautifully explained in this piece. I really hope the men read it.)
@hammondjm Glad you enjoyed.
@Johannes_Ernst I totally agree. I made friendships a high priority in my life about 6 years ago. But I do think it is harder to be a man in the US today, then it is to be a woman. I wrote about that a few years ago here: https://www.heathervescent.com/deep/2017/02/its-hard-to-be-a-man.html

SO EXCITED to visit Berlin & the amazing community there. I'm unfortunately only around for the weekend, post #EIC. Thank you to @GETJolocom & @EllieStephens5 for putting together this Identity Stammtisch. Looking forward to meeting you! https://twitter.com/GETJolocom/status/1126082386834460672
Met @EllieStephens5 at @WomeninID last week and we hatched this idea. Have I mentioned I'm super excited to meet the community and experience Berlin?!?! https://twitter.com/EllieStephens5/status/1126083871290925066
Heya @wendyinfutures are there some futurists in Berlin I should meet?
@wendyinfutures May 17-21... mainly over the weekend, but I've got that Monday I could meet with people. Thanks for any connections!

Every time I read about an abortion restriction, I think about the long term unintended consequences. In this case, it's one word - Ceausescu. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Romania#Decree_770 1/3 https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1125980728976715776
"Ceaușescu's government was unable to provide much of its promised assistance to families, leaving many families in difficult situations and unable to cope,[6] with the natalist policy being a contributor to the severe problem of child abandonment," 2/3
"where large numbers of children ended living in Romanian orphanages, infamous for institutionalised neglect and abuse.[10] During the 1990s, the street children seen in Romanian cities were a reminder of this policy.[12] " 3/3
So if you want population explosion, mass street children (+ crime), increased abandoned children, orphanages, & increased dependency on the state, increased generational PTSD emotional damage & suffering, by all means restrict abortion. Not to mention our 7+B global population.
Silver lining, pretty much every law that the GOP is passing or attempting to pass now will be overturned in 20-40 years. Unintended consequences take that long to see... but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to make the right call today - because it will reduce human suffering.
Here's a dystopian sci-fi scenario: Law makers who voted for restrictive abortion laws are personally responsible to support (as in child support) all children they forced into the world.
Overcast afternoon, it's cool and balmy. Background buzzing of bees, my refrigerator, an occasionally ting of china tapping glass, rustle of paper, and baby buzzsaw from the cicadas that are just starting to emerge.
@WomeninID I'm a bad person to ask this question as I rarely wear anything with any logos/attributions on them unless they have a super fashionable style, are retro, I custom made it or are for my music loves ELO/Steely Dan.

Q: Where does Canada get their cannabis from? I mean, are there US suppliers? And if so, I would like to speak with them re: the supply chain and certification of cannabis... cc @patrick99e99
@doriantaylor Well, I was wondering about that, but I was pretty sure there might be a demand for some humbolt grower skillz or rocky mountain high....
@doriantaylor Yeah, but are those growops selling to the stores?? I mean, don't you have a clean well lighted place for weed now? Like in California? Like it's an apple store for weed? Clearly there needs to be supply chain management and oversight here! Weed on the blockchain!
@doriantaylor Yeah, same down here. Everyone in the Mojave has a grow-op or is selling warehouse space for a grow-op. My x- of 20+ years ago told me of warehouses of grow-ops in NY. He's prob raking it in in upstate these days.
@patrick99e99 @doriantaylor 😂
@doriantaylor Yeah, same here in SoCal. But what I want to know is about cross-border trade of Cannabis!!! It's for my research!
@patrick99e99 OK, but do they import US grown cannabis?
@patrick99e99 Perfect! <3
@doriantaylor It's probably smart not to travel with it. But I wonder how difficult it is with edibles? It's not my drug of choice, so doesn't impact me, except for this immediate research query.
@johnvarga347 @patrick99e99 Fascinating - thank you!
@jonibrennan @patrick99e99 That's exactly what I was wondering... but it seems that there is likely some cross border trade... certainly black/grey market... but as we transition to legal markets for cannabis I would not be surprised to see things change.

@garrygolden Thanks Garry. Hope you enjoy.
@avocoidentity @stevetout @pamelarosiedee @joychik There’s concerns with liability and Verifiable Claim’s, especially when speaking with banks and KYC. No bank will vouch for their KYC to be used by another bank and no bank will accept the KYC from another bank because of liability concerns.
@avocoidentity @stevetout @pamelarosiedee @joychik While there is the theoretical desire for a “G8 of KYC” the reality is banks are skittish about sharing KYC.
@avocoidentity @stevetout @pamelarosiedee @joychik Also the receiver of the credential can decide whether they trust the issuer is the credential. Thus you have the reputation of the issuer involved.
Lots of visions of the future of identity at #EIC, and I’ll add my own tomorrow. #npeidentity

@fatemehx2 I generally ask, can I put this on my room after I ask for the check. Then I write it down.
Day 3 at #EIC my conclusion is Decentralized identity/self sovereign identity/ byo identity is about to go mainstream. First tranche of POC/experiments are done and learnings are being shared.
Different companies use different words to describe the same concept - and th mindset shift from centralized to a decentralized identity.
But we are still at the beginning and we have a long way to go - to mature the technology, use cases and business models.
The early adopters/pioneers have the early learnings. It’s wonderful they are sharing these - I truly believe this technology can empower the future human identity paradigm.
More than ever, I am excited to see how people use this knowledge to re-invent and invent their businesses. It’s gonna change the world - make it better for humans, companies, transparency, and planet earth. #eic
@hackylawyER MS mentioned this in their presentations here at #EIC. I took this as speaking to businesses from the business value perspective. Not coming from the user perspective.
@hackylawyER @avocoidentity Well businesses must have a business reason/model to allocate resources- I saw this as the carrot to use SSI va the stick of regulation. Profit in US companies is rarely ethical. :-(Meaning I would expect few big companies are doing it for altruistic reasons).
RT @stuart_murray: Great and thought-provoking presentation from futurist @heathervescent on non-person identities. #eic19
@windley @adamkcooper @SovrinID Sad I missed this, but I was presenting.
The Missouri abortion vote makes this a real battle for me. I had one in Missouri when I was 19. Never regretted the decision - I wouldn’t be able to make the positive impact on the world today if I had been forced into motherhood. We should all have that choice.
This isn’t about pro-life - it’s about control and power. If this was really about pro-life, it would include health-care for moms/babes, paid family leave for moms/dads, prosecution for rape, free childcare, and more.
Shocked at the hitting of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness in the Midwest. These votes are going to have unintended consequences. In the end, liberty and freedom will prevail, but I hope we can reduce the suffering before then.

@stuart_murray Yes, here you go: http://bit.ly/NPEreport
@babiejenks @pinkyracr There has always been a need for balanced visions of the future. Hollywood has poisoned our minds to think the future is all dystopians, because dystopians are easy story scenarios with lots of opportunities for story drama and conflict.
@babiejenks @pinkyracr Unfortunately, real life is not a Hollywood drama/conflict filled story, & the future includes more positive breakthroughs. I wrote an (award-winning) paper about solving our world's problems years ago building on my protopian philosophy. https://medium.com/@heathervescent/how-to-save-the-world-6985fab277b6
@babiejenks @pinkyracr I've been promoting & consciously using this concept in my work for 10+ years (same philosophy why I asked you to speak at that event long ago). But the media, Hollywood, & conflict-drama addicted society is not interested in a balance view & real solutions.
@babiejenks @pinkyracr A similar trend was called "solar punk" futures or something, a few-5 years ago. So there is a fair amount of history, and these attitudes are needed as much today, as in the past. It feels more urgent now, because the cycle of drama & conflict is accelerating.
RT @GETJolocom: Don't forget to join us tomorrow for a discussion with @heathervescent on (decentralized!) identities for things (NPEs) on…
And catching up with my researcher Juan, who has too many Twitter handles that I can't remember which one to use...
@pinkyracr @babiejenks After having you do the supply chain research for me, I really want to brainstorm with you on some problem-solving. You really shifted my thinking to understand the problem from a different way. :-)
The German of this train operator sounds something straight out of ... idk... some creepy Dracula movie. Every time he makes an announcement, I get a shiver down my spine. Also, how do Germans speak so softly and still hear each other? Signed, a loud American...
Also, I opted for 2nd class train experience, because my 1st class experience was not that great. This train is packed and OMG so many people drinking!1!
@peterbihr Do Germans need/want more or less personal space? I really wish I could learn to speak softly... I have voice volume control problems. 🤷♀️
Also, I get to look at a cute blue-haired guy sitting across from me, so it's not a bad experience... ;-)

Club scene Berlin. Let’s do this. Party of one, destination dance floor.
A full moon. The sweet scent of lilac though the night. Techno reverberating in the distance. Entropy on the dance floor. I look for the wormhole to the dry lakebed, or the speakeasy in Koreatown. But I am halfway around the world, these sounds are out of bounds.
Moon setting, hazy behind clouds, morning birds. The sweet fragrance.
So awesome. What is Berghain like? Hard core techno + sleep no more + hot guys (and girls) in leather + ice cream in a techno club!!! Omg - so much fun. So glad I rallied to go out solomente. Onward to the next… https://www.instagram.com/p/BxoOwsnhJoA/?igshid=uj98msan1u50

Often, when I tell people what I do, I watch them get jealous of my work/life. Yeah, from the outside it looks like a dream life - and it really is - I consciously created my life to be the way it is. But what they don’t see is how hard it was to get here.
They don’t see the failures, the back stabbing business/project partners, the years of misplaced loyalty, the fact I have started over from $0 three times. And that I’ve never - until I moved to the dome - had any stability in my life ever - even as a child.
They don’t see how hard I’ve worked to be acknowledged for my contributions or to win paid work. They don’t see all the things I’ve tried and failed. They don’t see the day to day sacrifice. But I suppose it’s like that for everyone.
I just wish I didn’t have to be worried/protective that everyone who hears what I do, starts salivating and thinking that they can do it too. Most people don’t have the stamina for feast/famine workstyle and constant comparison to so-called professionals.
@michaelsherrill Yes, I want to inspire people to follow their own path.

Ugh, forgot to eat my apple before customs again. :-/
@wendyinfutures For long hauls, yes.
Nothing better than snuggling down into your bed, the silence of the desert all around you, your dog by your side. Except maybe waking up in your oasis, drinking coffee, and jacking into the global work landscape to start the day.
Pieces are still shifting as I integrate all I learned/saw/experienced in Germany last 10 days. Today, I keep going back to a flickering moment in Berghain. Some moment of truth about self and experience. A crowd of none. #blissandemptiness

@monikabielskyte Really fantastic list!
@trbouma If you want to dig into the nation state line of thinking, I recommend Seeing like a State by James C Scott (my favorite anarchist writer).
@trbouma https://www.amazon.com/Seeing-Like-State-Condition-Institution-ebook/dp/B00D8JJYWA/
@trbouma I found it a slow/sleepy read in some areas... and skipped to the conclusion, which pulled all the pieces together. It's a lot of example evidence - fascinating stuff, that I want to apply to what is happening in the identity space right now (balkanization, state making, etc)
@IdemConsult @trbouma Ooooh, thanks for the tip. I found the identity parts so fascinating.
I love this song, had never seen this video. WOW. Amazing! (The 7 minute EP version is amazing!) https://twitter.com/Livable79/status/1131580720516874241
@t3dy Thanks Friend. A++ thread
@hammondjm Thanks for the tip! Wow, that's great! That really reminds me of the Dukes of the Stratosphere/early Syd Barrett.
Early morning jetlag gives the gift of an orange silhouette on the eastern mountains. I hear the pack of coyotes, their calls muffled by mountains or my slumber. Dampness heralds unusual cooler weather, 51 degrees in late May. I look for the juvenile hawk above her kill pile.
@hammondjm I like that one a lot too - that inspired this thread! Saw the video for first time ever yesterday: https://youtu.be/pFptt7Cargc Any other music recommendations (don't feel limited to Tame Impala).

When I cast my shorts, I always asked for specific ethnicities (Asian, Indian, Black, Latino & I think there was a general ethnic race category). For a few roles I had to look harder, but I always found the right person. & I am totally an indie producer. https://twitter.com/likeswriting/status/1132644171402158080
For another short, 4 of my 5 actors were x-military (and one crew member too). (It was a military project.) I knew I wanted to cast x-military, so I reached out to those groups specifically. It was some extra work, but tbh, not that much extra work.
Windy day in the Mojave, 20+mph. The sound of wind in the trees, screaming into the patio door, barreling across the chaparral. It's all very moody under an overcast sky.
Trying to figure out the appropriate activity when it’s this windy outside. When it snows, snuggle, bake, fire. When it rains, tea, read. But when it blows? Hmmm.
This is how you spend a windy evening in the Mojave. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx8p0jjhOjW/?igshid=ibpnu1pgrirx

In the back of my thoughts all day, my grandfather who flew a fighter pilot in WW2 today. The men & women I share my gym with & the ones I interviewed for research & the many stories I've read & heard & those lost, never returned. All so I could live my best life. Thank you.
If only Khaleesi had met Sanjuro...
Just realized that I do the restricted diet thing more often than not but not on purpose. Because I so often fail breakfast before noon and either jet lag or desert hours for bedtime. However I might make up for the benefits in cake consumption.
@MadelineAshby I think I’m writing the antidote story to yours... hmmm
Hummingbird acrobatic hour in the Mojave.
@csuwildcat If only anyone was creating or funding the creation of accessible, educational content about decentralized identity.
I am so annoyed at so many humans, and so in love with my dog.
It’s writing a new report time, and idk about you, but it’s really hard for me to context switch from bosslady to writer mode. Luckily I only have 2 meetings from now till Monday, so there go my explosive weekend plans and expect to see me tweeting about music.
Also I did 45 (mostly) straight leg lifts on the Roman chair along with 36 incline crunches tonight. Abs and shoulder. And a glass of wine and sunset and dog. #blissandemptiness

Heya @fatemehx2 what's your favorite definition of #digitaltwin? How do you constrain it's use (or do you) in the context of data sharing/collecting?
@leashless Hi @leashless what's your definition of "asset passport"? A digital wallet that stores, collects & shares data about a physical item, that can also take action based on the state/location of the physical object (e.g. like change ownership - transfer funds), & what else???
@leashless I understand this as a mashup combination of a data hub, digital twin, data storage, ownership tracking, smart contract software, and ????
Another bad business idea that wants to extract and use very limited water from a desert aquifer. It makes no sense, business-wise or environmentally to take a scarce resource and make it even more scarce. Use this technology in a water rich environment. https://twitter.com/NPCA/status/1133891667520475136
Beautiful day in the Mojave, the sky is full of little fluffy clouds and Archibald is protecting me from the dustdevil that just blew through the patio.
@leashless Thanks, I was sure you had a definition.
@leashless What kinds of stuff are in the container? And who put the stuff in there? And who retains "ownership" of the stuff that is put in there? (Where stuff=data, but also maybe other things...)
@leashless Or maybe I wait till we talk next week to get more details...
I know I promised music tweets, but today I'm writing with the sounds of silence, which is the inconsistent wind and its affect as it moves through heaven and earth.
Tinging the beaded fringe on my Indian curtains at the kitchen window, blowing across the round roof of my home, but caught by the stovepipe I haven't removed, catching slightly as it passes through the screens or the trees, the scraping of a dried flower across my patio.
Heat rises silently from the desert floor. Clouds make no sound as they fill the sky. Sun emblazons and is hidden in shadow. An occasional buzz of a helicopter or small aircraft. And also the tap tap tap of my typing on the keyboard.
Silence is a cotton cloud that descends in the desert. Silence can be hot and oppressive like at midday in the Mojave, sucking out everything that is not most needed. It can be cocooning, like at night under pinpricks of light. Silence is relief.
RT @missrogue: “Women are judged by higher standards but the solution isn’t to lower the bar for women (or have them “lean in” and act more…
A day of silence, with only the sound of the wind (and one conference call). Could sure get used to this. Also did a lot of writing.

@fatemehx2 Actually both. And I'm curious how they are different. It seems to me these are different uses, but use the same term. I've seen you use it like the "algo of me" and others as devices so I was curious your take.
@fatemehx2 And thank you!
Heat smells like creosote and dust and fresh clear air.
