Anonymity

It’s hard to disappear these days. Everything from renting property and using a credit card to working a job leaves a digital footprint. But just because it’s hard to vanish from the virtual world doesn’t mean people aren’t trying. Some do it out of necessity, to escape violence or persecution. Others do it out of curiosity, pursuing total anonymity just to see how far they can take things. Marketplace’s Lily Jamali spoke with Hal Triedman, a privacy engineer who recently wrote about the “extreme privacy” community for the online magazine Reboot.

Do you want to learn how to strengthen your relationship over time? 

Do you want to have better communication and expectations with your partner? 

On this very special episode of On Purpose, Jay Shetty sits down with the former First Lady of the country, Michelle Obama. During Michelle’s time as First Lady, Michelle launched several initiatives, including "Let's Move!" which aimed to combat childhood obesity, and "Reach Higher," promoting higher education. Her memoir "Becoming," released in 2018, became one of the best-selling books of that year and took the world by storm. Today we sit down to talk about her most recent book, “The Light We Carry.” 

In this raw conversation, Michelle opens up about her thoughts on marriage, fame, and public service. She talks about the toxicity of social media and technology that affects our mental health and how to be open to the changes and possibilities people bring with them. She also talks about how negative news and social updates are affecting our society and the community we are in.

We also dive deep into relationships and  why we put so much pressure on our marriage, how to choose the right person for you and make the relationship work even when it isn’t perfect, and how to practice constructive arguments with your partner.

In this interview, you’ll learn:

• How to think freely and independently
• How to take care of your mental health
• How to become a supportive partner
• How deal with negativity
• How to become an effective leader
• How to make your marriage last  

Together we’ll learn how to find calm amid life's noise, give people the space to be seen and heard, and explore topics that resonate with the very fabric of our personal growth journey.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

In this episode, Rob interviews the mysterious masked content creator known as anti-profit. In an anonymous and candid conversation, anti-profit shares his unique origin story from professional violinist to digital marketer to building his own personal brand. He opens up about the challenges of growing an audience while staying anonymous, his views on controversial figures like Andrew Tate, and his thoughts on today's polarizing political climate. Whether you agree or disagree with his opinions, anti-profit aims to challenge listeners' perspectives and encourage deeper thought around complex issues. Tune in for an intriguing glimpse behind the mask with one of social media's most unexpected disruptors.

Anti-Prophet Reveals:

• How he got into content creation
• Why he believes his white mask allows people to project themselves onto his content instead of focusing on his identity.
• Why he moved from the U.S. to Bali
• His thoughts on the "red pill" movement
• How he is combatting polarization online
• His battle with YouTube demonetizing his videos
• Why he sees today's "boundaryless" culture as the root of divisions between men and women.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think the white blankness of the mask is what I hope can be a mirror for people to project themselves onto."

"If an audience aren't behaving the way you want with your message, the problem isn't the people, it's the way you're presenting it."

"The matrix is more of an internal thing than an oppressive world government."

"People value consistency in an age of complete pandemonium."

"I'm just some guy talking shit into a camera."

Do you control your data, or does your data control you?

The internet has evolved at an unprecedented pace. It’s a massive network of individuals, corporations, and other entities that can fit in the back of your pocket. Our most prominent use of the internet is for communication—through social media, we believe we are empowered because of our extensive connections, we think that we have been given a voice because we are only on one end of the screen, sometimes shrouded in the comfort of anonymity.

Jaron Lanier wants to challenge those beliefs.

Jaron Lanier is a pioneer of virtual reality technology and has been in the industry since the 1980s. His involvement in the evolution of modern technology has given him rockstar status in the tech world.

However, he’s taken a complete 180 regarding his beliefs on the growth of the internet and the direction that adjacent technologies have taken—and many of his opinions align with what TARTLE stands for.

In this episode, Alexander McCaig and Jason Rigby engage in a light back-and-forth on a quote made by Jaron Lanier in his book entitled, Who Owns The Future?

“The foundational idea of humanistic computing is that provenance is valuable. Information is people in disguise, and people ought to be paid for value they contribute that can be sent or stored on a digital network.” - Jaron Lanier

Are We Losing Our Humanity to the Internet?

Jaron describes how the internet has journeyed down a path where human beings are all treated like machine components in one giant electronic brain. We all take our part in powering this massive brain through our interactions on the internet: we build a unique personal profile as netizens by visiting our favorite websites, shopping for goods and services, and otherwise investing plenty of time and effort navigating the digital landscape.

The internet takes all these interactions and synthesizes it to create an all-knowing electronic brain that is capable of fulfilling all our desires. If you want to buy a certain product and start searching for it, you’ll soon get ads showing that specific item across your platforms. If you look at the websites and applications you use, your mind is trained on the function of the product and how amazing it is for technology to have reached this point. 

We forget that everything on the internet is hoisted on the shoulders of ordinary people, like us.

Where is the harm in this? The internet dehumanizes people and takes away our capacity to have a meaningful, authentic human experience—especially when you fall victim to the allure of social media.

Getting the Hive Mind Out of the Gutter

One of the most thrilling ideas of being on the internet is that at any time, you can hide behind a veil of anonymity. It’s a great development for many people: anonymity helps others speak up about experiences they were too afraid to share. For example, the #MeToo movement helped bring a voice to oppressed women across the world through anonymous posting.

However, anonymity can also have an ugly face. It’s also enabled troll farms, fake news mills, and doxxing. In some cases, it’s endangered the lives of innocent people. 

This is not to say that the progress we’ve made because of anonymity is invalidated with their presence. It is, however, an indication that we must do more to reign in the evolution of the internet so that it returns to being human-centered.

Supplementing Your Social Media Cleanse With TARTLE

In a world so interconnected with the internet, it can be difficult to change our perspective on social media—but that’s not to say that it can’t be done.

When you have the right tools and equipment to take control of your data and turn it around, you’ll be able to notice how much you’re capable of and how much influence was taken away from you by the internet.

That’s what TARTLE hopes to do for you.

We offer a collaborative and transparent marketplace where everyone is compensated for the value that they contribute to the platform. You sign up, fill out a data packet, and submit it for sale to companies and causes that are important to you. 

Your information and purchases are stored securely on the network. You are in complete control over the information you submit, the amount of work you put out, and the amount of money you receive.

If you’re reading this, Jaron, we think TARTLE’s the platform you’re looking for. We’d love to have you on the podcast so we can discuss further:
