  • It can be done. The website provider can generate a request that it forwards to you. You then pass on this request to the age verifier, who can answer “yes person is over 16” without knowing why you want to know, or who generated the request.

    The requester wouldn’t know your age, just that you were old enough.

    There are a few problems.

    One is that the website could embed some identifier in the signature of their request. But any information there can be easily send by the web site provider to the age verifier directly if they wanted so this is not a big problem.

    Another problem is that the age verifier could look at times when requests were submitted and create a sort of “fingerprint” based on when requests arrived for different sites. This could be partially helped by having browsers request age verification randomly in the background any time you use a browser.

    Jerry: “Aren’t you going to see what the message is?”

    George: “Nah.”

    Kramer: “Why not? It could be important!”

    Jerry: “It’s not like you to ignore a message…”

    George: “Okay, okay! I’ll tell you. I was sitting at home.”

    Jerry: “Doing what?”

    George: “Nothing.”

    Kramer: “Oh yeah! I love doing nothing! I love it!”

    Jerry: “Nothing? Sounds boring.”

    George: “Spoken like an amateur. I have it down to an art.”

    Kramer: “We should compare notes!”

    Jerry: “Anyway, then what happened?”

    George: “I get a text from this girl I had lunch with.”

    Jerry: “Lunch? Like a date? A” lunch date?"

    George: “I don’t know, I don’t know! How can you know? Who suggests lunch when someone asks them out? I don’t know, but she did!”

    Kramer: “Yikes!”

    Jerry: “Okay, so you get this text message.”

    George: “That’s right.”

    Jerry: “From the lunch maybe date maybe not woman.”

    George: “That’s right.”

    Jerry: “What does it say?”

    George: “What are you doing?”

    Jerry: “I’m asking what the message said!”

    George: “I know! The message said, ‘What are you doing?’”

    Jerry: “Ooooo. Okay. And?”

    George: “So I sent her a reply, that said ‘nothing’.”

    Kramer: “Classic mistake.”

    George: “Well I wish I had known! How am I supposed to know?!”

    Jerry: “I don’t get it. What’s the mistake?”

    George: “After I told her that I wasn’t doing anything, she called me!”

    Jerry: “On the phone? What for?”

    George: “To talk!”

    Jerry: “About what?”

    George: “Nothing! I wanted to do nothing, not talk about nothing!”

    Kramer: “You got yourself a phone talker.”

    George: “A phone talker!”

    Jerry: “Seems like it. So what are you going to do?”

    George: “What can I do? I’m going to have to tell her talking on the phone causes me migraines. It’s the only way…”

    Kramer and George leave. Jerry sees a message from Elaine that says, “What are you doing?” He puts the phone down.

    Here me out please.

    Throughout most of the time humans existed we lived a migratory existence. It is only with the adoption of agriculture that staying in one place sense made sense.

    Now here we are, with like 2% of our population involved with agriculture and still living that way.

    We should all migrate like birds and stay in cooler climes during summer and warmer climes in the winter.

    Obviously this is a huge change, but we can do it!
