Post all your accounts and passwords right here, right now, or you are a hypocrite.


As long as we rely on secret keys to validate identity, making this information public would be a mistake.

The objective of transparency is access to knowledge and truth. By making my private keys public, I give the world the power to claim to be me, which is fraud. This leads to the spreading of false information, which is against what is good.

I wish I could share this information with you, but society currently makes it impractical by relying on the expectation that private key identification is reliable. I wouldn't be surprised if it were illegal for me to share such private keys.


So you're a hypocrite and a coward.

If you won't practice what you preach, don't expect anyone else to.


I believe that cocaine should be legal. Does that mean I should snort a line in front of a policeman?


"Cocaine should be legal" is distinctly different from "everyone should do cocaine". If you said the latter, then the answer would be yes.

You seek to deny everyone privacy. That does mean you should deny yourself privacy. But you won't.
