"Can you keep a secret?"
Asking seriously, while looking into the eyes of a fellow confidant, we might expect to hear a convincing "Yes I can, you can trust me."
But mostly, we know different. We've learned that this response is rarely the truth, if ever long-lasting.
Then again, there exist exceptional ones. I'm referring to all those who have reflected this question inwards, upon themselves, to discover its nuance, adding:
"But am I sure?
That this secret is truly of my creation?
And that I will never forget it?
And that it will remain exclusively mine?"
Many have taken a deep dive into this reflection. They've iterated alone and alongside scrutinizing peers, exhausted imaginative role-playing scenarios in theory, and dissected tragic failures in real life. Competing atop the shoulders of giants, they continue evolving material and digital solutions for mastering one of the fundamental user challenges required by freedom-tech.
And they keep releasing their refined knowledge to all, free and open,
* to harden the individual -- thereby the collective,
* to level the playing field -- turning the tables,
* and to claw-back freedom, for our children,
in order to rectify many of the violated-promises that have been left behind for us.
They have enabled anyone, who reflects on that nagging question, to easily and honestly answer:
"Yes, now I can!"
To the #seedsigner community, which I stumbled into one year ago today, and to all of you exceptional ones, you legendary giants -- past and present, from my family to yours,
Thank you!
