Anyway, the Anoma folks gave me this shirt.

And they are really good technologists, and they've been really good supporters of Zcash for a long time.

And in fact, some of them, the ones who gave me this shirt, donated to fund Shielded Labs.

They are among the Zcash holders and supporters who support Shielded Labs.

And I really like their computer science and technology.

And just recently, I think, like weeks ago, they launched a thing on Ethereum.

So anyway, check it out.

I haven't tried it myself.

So there's solutions like that.

Basically, I'm not surprised about that it's taken five years for a technical reason.

Okay.

Which is that with Turing completeness, you can add anything, but you can't subtract information.

Does that make sense?

Okay.

If you have a layer that exposes information about you and you want to build something else on top, if the underlying layer is still exposing the information about you, then the next layer can't fix that.

It can't take back information.

Right, so privacy, because like a really good mental hack is stop thinking of privacy as a thing.

or a quality or a level or a feature you can add.

Think of instead, forget about privacy as a thing.

Think about information leakage.
