Whenever I hear the pseudonymity “skin in the game” argument, it seems always framed in a manner that centers around speech and accountability of an individual to a wider (very much anonymous) internet community. But this accountability tradeoff we know is not an equal one. To appease one cyber landlord in this manner (so Jordan Peterson can sleep well at night) is to expose oneself, family, and sometimes community to myriad vulnerabilities. 

It’s not a fair trade, it never has been, and #nostr fixes this. 

The internet will always be an opaque arena in one way or another, it’s crucial that it remains that way. The alternative is a dystopian nightmare.

The freedom to choose here is the point. If you desire verified human faces to interact with on the internet, don’t worry, your wish is coming true.
