That’s not a very kind response.

I’d love to have a constructive conversation rather than resorting to base name calling.

I mean to say that centralization is caused by digitization because of the financial incentives, not that centralization IS digitization. And all of our current systems are systems of legacy control.

In fact I generally agree with you. Generally the identity system will be interrupted, and at the core digitization of the legacy system will happen. I’m simply saying that there will be further consolidation and centralization first and it will take longer than most people think due to the powerful financial interests involved.

To put it in your own words, I generally believe we will have to go through a economics “with the tragedy” before we get to the part where the tragedy gets removed.

I believe it was kind but the tone does not get across the textification.

Glad to hear your justifications. They are more persuasive than the initial representation.

Thank you for engaging the constructive conversation.. now w.r.t. the power of financial interests, I think it is overestimated and easily shattered but we will just have to see what happens.

I don't know that it is kind to say to someone that they're "full of shit".

Sorry I just read this exchange again and I totally misread your first comment. Tbh I'm a bit tilted at the moment. I'll take a break.
I absolutely love you for this comment. I totally understand and have been there lately myself. Hang in there my friend.
