The New Freedom

Jump to Comments

There has been a lot of talk about cryptoanarchy, but zero talk about the other side of the equation, anonymity in government. I dub this Anonarchy, and have made a logo accordingly (actually, I made the logo first and the system of government to fit it.)

If you’re not a computer-science person, this wikipedia article might explain some things. In short, A* is the algorithm which is used to find the best paths between anonymous relayers in mixnets like Tor.

There are pros and cons to this type of government. One one hand, it is a completely pure type of politics. Supposing this is a representative democratic anonarchy, all potential leaders are anonymous and therefore judged solely on their stance on issues and their speeches, not by their age, sex, skin color, history, etc. It is also corruption-proof as the bribee is unknown, and the result of the bribe cannot be verified anyway.

On the other hand, 4Chan.

That is all.
Rich.
