Bridges collapse; police go corrupt; electricity has outages; gasoline suffers price shocks; governments have a 100% failure rate; an 1870s-style solar flare would send us back to medieval times.
All we can do is:
A. Diversify, under the belief nothing is infallible; and even perfect engineering can experience catastrophic failure
B. Enjoy what we have today, knowing it is a gift, not a right
Also, while we blame CrowdStrike, let’s not forget that SSH was within weeks of being backdoored on a global scale. The power that would have unleashed (and proxy power, I.e. breaking into CloudStrike and then Windows by extension) very well could have ended the internet.
