Country of origin: Cameroon
Some of my grade school and middle school direct classmates currently in the academia :
Waffo Soh Celestin (first grade; he was an AP :)
Yvonne Marie Mokam (3rd to 6th grade)
Claude Tadonki (Middle school)
Fabrice Tenga (Middle School) Did not share the same classroom with this one, but I have always suspected (because of his grades :)) that he only pretended to be human.
Many more from other levels
I feel as lucky as the thousands of people of similar background to have come this far.
The point of listing my childhood classmates here is to show that privacy pirates have a serious structural bias toward enforcing stereotypes. At this point in time, the world would be better off if all matching and all allocation roles were played by, or at least efficiently aided by, machines. To privacy pirates, it makes no difference if a real chicken shows up with my credentials and its language cannot be translated into human language. Privacy pirates only viewed my presence as an opportunity to privately exploit options associated with my identity while blaming institutional changes. The description of human options, what privacy pirates trade, is the point of a book that I would like to write if I could secure a budget to devote myself solely to writing for eight months. Get me a sponsor or contract if you know anyone :) . Again, the point is to show that I am not a random intellectual occurrence. There are more where I come from. I am certain that there are even more diverse and brilliant people in the communities around you. Too many for the idea of insidiously crushing the visibly isolated or weak to make others better-off to still be a sustainable, model. DIVERSITY!
