Real identities as a first step?

  > Real identities as a first step? If we could answer the preceding question, we'd have solved society. People are bastards in real life. People are angels anonymously. (If anything, taking away real identities neuters the internet's celebrity tendency.) The only gate with a track record is tendency towards exploration. When the internet was a frontier, it selected for curiosity and, if not intelligence, at least daring (for its own sake). When it became accessible, we got influencers.

  > People are bastards in real life. People are angels anonymously. This is exactly the opposite of my experience.

    They must have mixed up the two?!! This is even a meme: the most measured person in real life being absolutely vicious online!
