This is a very decent, non-technical overview of the core idea of zero-knowledge proofs.

Most verification today is over-disclosure by default.

Zero-knowledge proofs decouple proof from disclosure. They let an entity prove that a statement is true (e.g. “this transaction is valid”, “a requirement is met”, “this identity got verified”) without revealing the underlying data.

ZK-KYC won't remove compliance, but it can remove unnecessary extraction, collection and storage of personal data. So, verification still happens, but no data honeypot is created.

😹 Not just vibe coding.

Actually, those doing the heaviest mental work are often the ones most actively suppressing emotional processing and, in turn, delaying catharsis the longest.

A person’s capacity for growth is closely linked to their willingness to face and work through the parts of their past that remain unresolved.

I don’t think victim mentality helps here. It’s an easy escape route from taking on responsibility tho.
