My thought:
There are a lot of anonymous letters being published on issues x, y, z and people are afraid of losing their jobs or whatever.
But … if one has a *true* belief in a certain cause, or truly cares … one would *NOT* do it anonymously.
Or in other words:
Put no faith into anonymously published things.
Why? Either:
- The anonymous letter is fake (the letter writer is pretending to be someone who they actually are not)
- They are virtue-signaling their thoughts without real ‘skin in the game’ (Nassim Taleb), and thus their opinion has lesser worth.
Certainly if your opinion is like a life-or-death scenario (if you’re from North Korea or so), then anonymity is good. But if you’re just afraid of losing your job, economic livelihood … put your face and the name in the game.
