The biggest single mistake we collectively made online is deciding to engage online at all with our true identities. Privacy is only a real concern because so many things we do online can be tied to our real lives.

Get rid of identities and the fire hose of click bait social media and I'd expect the internet goes back to something much more similar to what we often see people wax poetic about, a smaller web that's people goofing off and writing random stuff on their own site.
