Transparency, not Secrecy
Been picking a bit through Dreaming 5GW. Lots of thoughts that I haven’t been keeping up with, so I latch onto the margins. This bit, for example:
While secrecy may be a natural response, it does not prove a successful defense against 4GW style threats. A stronger defense would be radical transparency, an idea that Robb explored last month. Secrets will be found out, and even if they aren’t, opponents could attack one’s character with lies and distoritions. The only way to truly evicerate such attacks is to already be transparent, allowing third parties to independently varify the absurdity of the attempts to pillor your record. After all, the problem is rarely the actual act that precipitated the scandel, it is the resulting cover-up that turns wrong-doing into a full-blown scandel.
