You  advise suffering; making  networked computer use as difficult as getting a drivers license. I do not see that as a step for'ard. Of-course I have spent the last three days getting two Linux boxes enabled on the  sketchy local WiFi.  Inexpert? Yep. Twenty years ago getting my Florida drivers license took 2 hours at DMV. YMMV.

The AI-stooges on slash-dot surely attack KARMA(=0) for anyone opposing their utopian/mercantile fantasy. Perhaps the chief moderators ought to remove mod-power from those systematically attacking 3rd-rail commentators. I mean .. they could hand-off the task to an AI assista... Oh wait ...

Actually this post is a brilliant comment on the costs of success; a dystopian future.  For a practical example one need only look at Pre/Post WW2 American government  to see the corruption of (re)publican principles ( becoming like the collectivist Nazi/Stalin ansatz ) required for victory. Whomever modded this post zero (0) needs to look thoughtfully at their foundation assumptions.

No need for your  oh-so-fragil BLOCKCHAIN crap when paper and quality American-made pencils  remain  readable immediately and in a century.  Freaks who try burning P&P based votes may be shot, while byte-boi hackerz  anonymously eat-thru purposefully weakened software structures;  every soft-ware structure.  So the prudent voting structure is based on well-tested  10-K year-old technology.  Better than inscribed glass ? No, but one always compromises quality and cost.

As you say ..."The US government considers the US populace it's biggest threat and enemy." That's true whether the post-mod elected leaders are MAGA/Republican/socialist/globalist. (re)publican/democratic ideals take 3rd place to power & financials. As a LeastLastLowest student-of-history I observe  well-maintained cultures solving this conflict by explicit civil war -- classical Athens , Napolionic France etcetc --. I thought we'd have one back in the 1960s when  Fed Courts kidnapped Missouri K-12 schools; didn't happen then. But, with recent assassinations/attempts I can see a government with "plausible deniability" ... and a repeat of  1850s BLOODY KANSAS.

NOTHING is a very big number ... like infinity. Excluding books ...  I just checked my sketchpad and recovered names of three "recent" movies I intend to see again:  <The Rapture ... Jacobs Ladder ... Beetlejuice >.  And almost any film featuring Shirley McClain or Alec Guinness. You really are known by the trails you trek & the  company you keep.

Parisians have seemingly slid (stumbled?)  into the bog of content consumption. I presume France maintains public parks, sea-shores, woodlands and trekking venues. How does some overpaid illusionists fantasy compare to the immensity and beautiful savagery of native environs ? Don't go naming a few creative works of art ... as Picasso observed damned-near every art-form  produced after 20-K BC is simple decadence. Create your own joy and endorphin-goading hi! If anyone the French ought to be held to this standard; Alpine meadows &  gorgeous Slovenian trout-streams are prolly hours away. Why settle for cultural  slops ( streaming media)  a  wild pig would ignore. Sad sad case.
