I have habit of telling people everything about myself. It’s awful. I know that hell will break loose if I tell someone everything, or everyone nothing. (Or not, maybe people don’t care about my life)<\/p>\n
So to counter this, I tell everyone something different. Of course each fact I tell is true, I can’t lie.<\/p>\n
But then what if I do something really, really stupid later in life (or even tomorrow), and then suddenly everyone wants to know every tiny detail about me?<\/p>\n
Back in the days before the internet, you would have to talk to everyone and ask them about this person of interest. Now, a list of Facebook friends, a good Facebook stalk and a few loose lips and everything comes out. <\/p>\n
Of course I can’t stop people from stalking my Facebook. But I can control my spreading of information. The idea is to try to tell two people who are unlikely to cross paths (e.g. a high school friend and a colleague) two pieces of information that would generate significant conversation if they were known together. <\/p>\n
The theory behind ‘decentralizing’ information is that if someone wanted to see the whole picture, it would take a long time to piece together all the information from many sources.<\/p>\n
But I don’t know how long that theory will hold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
