      From a not-evil corporation’s perspective, how would zero knowledge proofs work exactly? Like is there a step at any point in the process where a person’s identity is verified by another human and then “forgotten?” I understand the concept of zero knowledge, but I’m not solid on how this system would actually meet the requirements of a so-called zero knowledge identity verification process.

    So, I wanna talk about Marvels Civil War, not the movie but the comic it was based on. Some losers with powers decide the easy way to go big time is to make a superhero reality show. TL:DR Bad choices were made and they nuke an elementary school.

    Anyways, this is what sets off a big moral panic and suddenly we gotta have the secret identity of everyone powers in a big ole “ultra secure” database. The majority of heroes go along with it, because they aren’t the bad guys right!? Iron Man is a real dick and mandates that if you aren’t following the law, then by definition you are a bad guy. They beat up “villains” for less! But Captain America refuses because “What happens when the bag guys hack it? Doctor Doom will be in that thing before the end of the week.” So everyone beats everyone else up, Cap dies but comic books so he gets better.

    I forget why I brought this up. Oh yeah! Tony Stark is a piece of shit.

      Spoiler alert: he dies in the end

      I watched all the crap movies just to watch that fascist billionaire asshole die. But they glorified his death and ruined it with a narrative that he was a hero. What a shitty set of movies.

        I’m amazed by your ability to watch the MCU thinking they would portray Robert (Iron Man) in any other way than a hero (in a super hero movie)

          They literally introduced his character as a fat cat war profiteer selling arms to terrorists.

          I don’t know how anyone could see him as anything other than a rogue billionaire terrorist. He was always the villain.
