Asymmetric signature generation has been a solved problem for more than a quarter of a century. So are distributed hash tables. I can't believe email hasn't been replaced. My take on it is to follow the money. Microsoft, Google and Yahoo have a vested interest in being the only big identity providers along probably with some 3 letters agencies.

Seriously.

Why would "A blue Ford just parked in front of the door. Jim still hasn't truly fully woken up but he was already making breakfast..." incite me to read the book?

Compare that to The Poppy War which I just discovered:

"Take your clothes off. Rin blinked. What? Cheating prevention protocol."

> How or why Scott Adams went completely of the rails

Why? People all say that but it is never stated how or what he said.

I don't think dividing opinions into conspiracist and not conspiracist is not a good epistemological basis. Opinions can be judged on the facts they are based on facts and how they are based on logical arguments or not regardless of their conspiracistness.

I like to read the propaganda / state funded media of most major nation states of the world: Al Jazeera, TRT, CGTN, RT, BBC, CBC, PBS, etc.

Western "propaganda" is the most insidious and frankly insane. At least with other state media it is clear they are being advocates and their own population don't believe it and won't defend it in private conversations. But in the West we have a way to make people want to believe, it is very uncanny. If I see another "let's go to war for Afghan/Iranian/Syrian women" documentary from the CBC I will lose my mind.

It's sad to see that the highest operating margins are not industries that produce actual value but financialized slop makers.

Indeed it can't authenticate photons. Security isn't about making things perfectly safe, but to make it harder for the bad guys.

Then why is it illegal to make raw milk cheese?

This is a false equivalence. And if the milk and the cow is tested for pathogens, what is the problem?
