The Future of Personal Identity

It's common for some people to have multiple identities, I have several, often enabled solely by the
Internet.  The verb ``dox'' which is an abbreviation and mutation of ``documents'' refers to the act
of connecting someone's separated identities, often to that one true identity most people have, that
not of the Internet.  It's a bad age to be famous, and I've watched the bar for fame but descending.

It benefits every sufficiently-advanced government to spy on its citizenry, and this is very easy to
do.  In the United States, the ``know your customer'' laws suffice to strip away practically any and
all anonymity from anyone who wants to do anything of any significance whatsoever; only the paranoid
resist, and that modern mental illness eventually grows old.  The Abrahamic god is terrifying in one
way from the promise of having one's life laid bare before him, and now governments hold that power.

I no longer care about playing this awful game beyond what I view as the bare minimum, that being to
shield myself from others on my level; anything else would be either foolish, or even more apathetic
than I.  It's occurred to me lately what I would do, were I inclined to start some business, such as
making video games.  Old and famous video game developers are generally good at avoiding attack from
mobs, and much of that stems from how little of their lives were recorded and broadcast to the world
in perpetuity.  Rumours abound about everyone, and can be just as ruinous, but rumours are different
than archives.  I see only one solution to the general problem: to sever any and all ties to the one
true identity to the extent possible.  It should be possible to start a business, and involve only a
trusted lawyer in the creation of shell businesses for obfuscation.  With sufficient obfuscation, it
should be possible for someone to participate somewhat normally in society, without leaking personal
information constantly.  With infrastructure and communications channels secured, one can exist as a
name only, and avoid the problem of doxing so long as he maintains care about himself when using it.

There are limitless ways in which one can be unmasked.  Someone who produces programs can be tracked
by style and methodology no differently than a writer.  I believe the best way to avoid this problem
to be through use of wildly different identities.  Someone who wishes to produce games under several
pseudonyms would be wise to produce games in different genres with each, using dissimilar methods of
implementation for each.  The same applies to any other kind of artistry in obvious ways.  Sometimes
I feel pity for the many criminals and others caught in ways they couldn't anticipate, but they make
good examples.  As billions of identities exist, and all analysis requires a much more narrow set of
suspected matches for comparison, avoiding all such suspicion is undeniably the most important task.

To let the identity that never had a chance, that true identity, become false is the only way I see.
