Crypto-isation of everything might have to be accelerated, else back to pen and paper as backstop...

None of my important work has been entrusted to a computer... since roughly 1998.

Fairly safe to assume, even back then, that anything done on a computer is being observed by others... many of whom are intent on stealing it...

But, then, it is not only hard drives that can be stolen, physically... as mine have been... so anything really important is also not entrusted to paper... but requires a lot of mental exercise to sustain in grey matter...

The overall impact... is a massive reduction in productivity... only with there being no metrics capable of being applied to determine how much innovation is being lost to "a basic failure to communicate". That is what is imposed by enabling simple theft... and by the incompetence of authorities in failing to prevent such... while instead focused on fostering it. The metrics there are... measure only the level of noise in accelerated publication of... more noise... which continues to grow and is reported as "progress" measured by the pound... the volume accepted as proof of improvement... rather than the opposite.

Digital dark ages is not what many expected computers to enable... but, that is exactly what is happening... with the suppression of speech on the internet being only the most obvious in recent instances of proof...

The impact most apparent in the "stalled out" pace of innovation in computer chips... another direct result...

But, also... it means there is a massive backlog of amazing innovation waiting to be liberated when the problems of corporate and government sponsored IP theft are solved... in favor of innovators... or, otherwise, lost... due to the sustained influence of the dark lords of the digital dark age we now inhabit...

The systems we have are broken... as corrupt corporate suits and corrupt officials are not only responsible for breaking it... they're working hard on breaking it more than it already is... rather than fixing it...

No surprise, I'd guess... that if you confiscate gold from the miners... they'll tend to leave it in the ground rather than work for free just to give it away ?

I think in mining it usually takes a century or more for those sorts of errors to be corrected...
