Show Notes
Who we are, you'll never know. What we do, you can only guess. Why we podcast, because it's fun!
In Episode #267 of 'Musings' Nuaj & Nyrik discuss: the definition of anonymity, the pros of security/inclusivity/meritocracy, the cons of no accountability/destructiveness, why being anonymous in the crowd doesn't make sense, ways that we use or see it in our daily lives, why Juan wants less of it and I see it as more neutral.
A big thanks to Dave Jones (the one and only Podsage) for supporting us this week. Very much appreciated!
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
