Stop Fraudbook, apple, google, microshaft, amazon, et al by not using them. They can't track you if you are not using them. They can't sell your data if they have none. They can't spy on your every move if they do not have the ability. They cannot destroy your precious privacy if you do not engage with these big tech terrorists. Forget the idiot fact checkers and realize all these companies are giant spy/data collection machines and nothing else.
Yeah for sure, but humans work better with good systems, and there are benefits to digital connection with people. So sure, don't use them. But more importantly, we would do better with a high trust system where we could go to solve problems and start businesses together.
Josh, you need to get on Nostr! The entire protocol is based on public/pricate keys, and within clients (apps) we can use a truly decentralized web of trust.
Early stages can be rough! I think you’ll find it much improved.
Primal is particularly slick, but by now there are a ton of clients and the future possibilities - far beyond the usual social media- are kind of mind boggling. You’d understand the implications better than almost anyone :)
Yes. And at the same time we should share a one time encryption pad with each person we meet. However the authentication cannot be done with PHONES as the software is compromised. Maintaining lists can be done on provisionally trusted servers but should a server fail in their trust it must be marked untrustworthy. Verification must be done by real people. If you want your server to be very trusting do not store others you do not trust on the server as any member can offer a vote of no confidence in the server that will result in an audit that will need speedy re-verification of some critical mass of connections or the server is listed untrustworthy.
Sort of like SSL certificates but for people that can only be verified in person. However LetsEncrypt is probably an NSA information gathering and single point of failure Trojan for most small web sites so do not accept their help.
Good post. Seems clear that trust relationships come from knowing people personally or within verification systems of the types you're developing. To some degree, both suggest a limit to the number of people we can each individually trust. Post-WWII urbanization appear to have accelerated the death of community trust. Like big cities, bigger systems are not always better because failure affects more people. The flip side of that is a dispersed population has greater immunity to mass casualty.
I'm not sure that nails down the principles I'm trying to articulate. I'll keep working on it.

I tried this when it first came out but it was very much not user friendly

Perhaps cells of 12 members that group with 11 other cells that form a panel with 11 other groups.
8 tiers would cover 500 million so most of the thinking people on the planet.
