interesting point, however I highly doubt humanity is going to be around long enough for "decendants" many generations beyond now...and, hopefully, the blockchain, being decentralized, makes our footprint a little more anonymous than say...facebook...although the IP address is a dead giveaway...
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I don't think decentralization has anything to do with privacy.
But you're right, this probably is the end of human history. Almost anything is possible with technology advancing exponentially from this already-advanced point. We approach the information singularity, long before which everything about our lives will have to completely change, likely into a permanent state of flux to be able to accommodate the pace of technological advance.
Which means there probably will never be "future genealogists", unless we're talking about the very near future.
you are prob right that decentralization does not equal privacy although I used to truly believe it did...now I understand why civilizations disappear without a trace -
That's a disturbing thought, friend.
I guess... but we are investing everything onto "online" - sadly - although this would be a perfect time to just get off the internet and live in REALITY.
We could start a new Amish-like project, but instead of living in 1799 forever, we live in 1999 forever! No smart phones :D
I would LOVE that
Getting it started is another matter. I don't know who is up for organizing that kind of thing. Maybe several small communities, to keep things small. We need somewhere to go, too. Maybe a national park will have to be seized for the people's use? Heh.
