"Smart women write clickable articles about their sexuality for nothing"

I'm enjoying an extended Vegas residence, compliments of weather in the Midwest and my Amex. This morning, I found something worth reading, and I'd like to share it with all of you.

It's called Who Bullies The Bullies? and it's courtesy of my favorite blogger, The Last Psychiatrist. As usual, it's a sprawling, rambling take on about twenty different issues, but the key one --- the feeling of impotence among everyone from the poor to the powerless rich --- is critical to understanding modern society.

The only point in the article on which I significantly differ from TLP regards the permanence of anonymity on the Internet. He thinks that "The issue isn't whether we should abolish online anonymity, since this will never happen. For every American senator trying to curb anonymity there's going to be a Scandinavian cyberpirate who will come up with a workaround, and only one of them knows how to code. Besides, there's no power in abolishing anonymity, the power is in giving everyone the pretense of anonymity while secretly retaining the PGP keys to the kingdom." To begin with, online anonymity has always been a touch iffy. I've never failed at "doxxing" or finding someone whom I genuinely wanted to find. But it's going to get a lot tougher and the reason is simple: the ISPs want it gone. I predict that twenty years from now, you will be no more anonymous on the Internet than you are on your work network.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to swing by the pool and see what the Millennial girls are wearing.
