Finally! We don't need to look silly wearing tinfoil hats

5. The point (I suppose) is that a tin-foil hat is a moronic way

To address..well anything.

I kinda get what you are saying. I have no sympathy with anti-vaxxers but I think it is a form of herd mentality which instinctively causes people to dismiss any concern that is potentially based in rationality. For example concerns about big tech or shitty institutions with lousy track records.

But if your concerns are based in rationality you are unlikely to waste time on moronic solutions like tin-foil hats, alternate healing or anti-vaxxer groups. You are likelier to wait for support from non-corrupt, non-creepy mainstream experts, which invariably happens in my experience, even if it takes a decade.

You cannot grow your own food, build your own computer, be your own doctor, own guns or raise dogs for security....unless you live in a cult (which only works for creepy people). You have to have systems you can trust.

The way to address privacy concerms for instance is to stop giving business to companies that violate trust even once. And to insist on regulation by the state.

If I encounter stuff that makes me uneasy, I waste no time in trying to understand it. I never get numbed to it though. I wait till more information and actual legal options are on the table. I am all for ruthless regulatory crackdowns on people like Zuckerberg/Larry Page or rather their crapware.
