You're mistaken if you think pseudonyms somehow will protect your privacy. Your privacy will be compromised. It's inevitable.

  If pseudonyms don't matter, why does Facebook have such a hard-on for collecting real names (even trying to get people's friends to rat them out)? No, you can still do a lot with compartmentalization. Throwing in the towel just because "on a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero" is just looking at the glass as half empty.

    I didn't say they didn't matter. I said they won't protect your privacy, which they won't. Also, what's up with the fictitious quote?

      > Also, what's up with the fictitious quote? The quote's real (Chuck Palahniuk did write it, after all); the character who said it was just fictitious. They were just using it to say that you're being overly pessimistic.
