​That, good sir, is what I believe is the true endgame. It is what will be
necessary to have a species-wide "anarchy". Anonymity is purely legal and
optional, and you balance your desire for it with the fact that you know it
makes people uneasy, and uneasy people may not want to deal with you. The
cute girl you meet on the plane, the guy at the market selling the wine you
like, ​

​etc. The "marketplace of social behaviors" will incentivize the
appropriate balance. So anonymity won't go away, but perhaps "conspicuous
anonymity" will.

And critically, it's all optional. No one can be forced to de-anonymize,
but they will, because they in turn cannot force someone to trade or
associate with them. Removal of consent is the only weapon, and do do that
effectively (it shouldn't be a three-day review process to get a baker to
sell you bread, after all!) requires automation and a HUD-like overlay on
daily life to deliver the information feed.

You ever gonna come out with why you're so personally focused (even
obsessed) with HFT? When I stop and think about it, ignoring my
preconditioning to *dislike *the notion, I can't find anything wrong with
HFT anymore than I'd dislike Amazon finding low-cost electricity for their
datacenters, lower-cost than anyone can get anywhere else. That's what the
HFT guys have done. They've used their resources to find the most efficient
way to do their business.

Is it not *what they do with their proceeds* that is the problem? I'm on
board with that. Or their anti-competitive behavior, if it violates the
non-aggression obligation. But rich dudes finding low-latency connections
does not and should not offend merely because they are rich.
