Precisely, and it can stay pseudo-anonymous. A trusted third party (Governments? Banks? A YMCA gym membership?) issuing a hashed certificate or token is all that’s needed. You don’t need to know my name, age, gender: but if you could confirm that I DO have those attributes, and X, Y, and Z parties confirmed it, then it’s likely I’m a human.

We need digital identities, like, yesterday.

The German aristocracy bankrolled Hitler as well. It sorta sounded like you were implying that didn’t happen.

Hitler disbanded the trade unions at the behest of heads of industries. Industry showed its gratitude with the ‘Adolph Hitler Fund’, to which the companies paid a % of turnover.

From 1933 onward 100 million reichsmarks were paid to Hitler every year, which would have made him a billionaire by today’s standards.

I’m in the middle of CS50 right now. Wow. This is a huge loss for everybody. I’ll be archiving the 2025 course for posterity.
