“The UK Conservative government is grooming children under pretext of teaching “cyber security”, to be the next generation of state criminals in the art of oppression and spying on people for the creation of the Bilderberg New World Order.”

Thats the description on the video above, written by the channel owner Liarpoliticians. Watch the video, and then read my comment to it below.

Rather than teach these students how to develop software and create businesses that will dominate the globe, Matthew Hanckock is promoting this insane idea. Bear in mind also, security is a service, just like any other. These students could start companies that solve the security problem forever, just like Google has solved the spam problem permanently.

Hancock has an MPhil in Economics. I have no idea whether or not he is an Austrian or a Keynesian, but for certain, he knows absolutely nothing about software and how it works, or how a business works and the proper role of government. The security of the internet is a business problem, and not the role of the State to achieve.

Here is an example of the market solving problems. Lets Encrypt is a service that completely simplifies and automates the installation of SSL on websites, so that no one can eavesdrop on what you are saying on any website.

Certificates issued by Let’s Encrypt

Before Lets Encrypt, installing SSL certificates was hard, and you had to pay for them. Now its as simple as running a single command. Over 3.8 million sites have been made secure by Lets Encrypt. No government told them to do it, no minister pushed for it, or could even tell you anything about it. It has nothing to do with them.

This is a perfect example of how the market works to solve problems. The State is not needed to solve “Cyber Security”. They are incompetent by nature; the net is too big and the problem too complex for any ministry anywhere to be able to fix any problem. All they do is make things worse. Thankfully, Lets Encrypt and companies like it are solving this and many other problems without ever referring to Hancock and his like. This is happening on many fronts simultaneously, in a way they can never hope to keep up with.

The State is slowly becoming redundant. Uber and AirBnB are primitive examples of how people will organize themselves without any reference to government for everyone’s benefit, after which, when everyone is using these new services, all the Hancocks of the world can do is shrug their shoulders as their children are all taking Ubers, to AirBnB bookings paid for with Bitcoin.

Welcome to The Transformation.
