Questions for Cryptids: Considering that: Everyone wants to have access, but no one wants 'their' info to be available indiscriminately. Everyone wants ease-of-use, but no one wants to have their system made vulnerable by it. Everyone wants wide markets, but no one wants to have easily duplicatable products. Everyone wants to corner the market for their product, but no one wants a monopoly of one - or a reduction in choices. .. Would you say that ideally all electronic information should be encrypted as a matter of course; is it the best circumstance to have absolutely everything encrypted, with systems or processes for access available only to select or paying members of the chosen cabal, no exceptions? Given that personal information is shared almost automatically between & among all sorts of businesses & gov. agencies, and that in order to prevent that, laws & regulations would be called on to put the label of illegality & the force of the law behind them: .. How could (would, should?) the procurement of services, where one is requested to give out personal financial or other information in order to receive them, be accomplished in an anarcho-capitalist system of operations whereby interactions/transactions might be 'illegal' yet supremely functional & directly beneficial, while not also being intrusive & offensive? How could all of this data be 'contained' so that it would not be irreverently distributed by irresponsible parties? .. What, in such a system, would be a method for redress of violations of contract - personal vendettas? I'm imagining these elements within a context wherein all things are electronically possible, though only some are desireable, but all are individually manageable & controllable. Blanc
