Some thoughts on anonymity... (for now)

- that 4chan article
- the other one on anon bbses
- LONG TERM THINKING
- also quite useful for some things, like [Belle de Jour](!w Belle_de_Jour_%28writer%29) and activists etc.
- scanning <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymity>:
    - benefits:
        - candor
        - minimizes persecution/humiliation
    - drawbacks:
        - promotes short-term thinking
