This is a really odd take to me. No, you may not get every single thing right, and if someone is really determined then they might get through. But does that mean you shouldn't put the effort in to make that as difficult as possible? Of course not.
What you're saying is essentially the equivalent of saying "If someone had a bulldozer they could smash through the wall into my house anyway, so I'm going to stop locking my doors and closing my windows when I'm out"
- newbamboo 5y agoI’d rather live in a world where people don’t lock their doors. That world existed not long ago. What you see as normal and acceptable differs from my ideal. The question I pose to you: how much is enough in a world with constantly escalating threat? I’d submit that locking doors is a reaction to somewhat static threat. Digital crime is accelerating due to changes in the feasibility and incentives for the criminal- more exploits and digital currencies that make it easy and low risk for the criminal. The more crime, the more value and “adoption” of the digital currencies, the more motivation and less risk for criminal. Not at all like locking your door. It’s a treadmill that will ultimately destroy the fabric of society. We once lived in a world without door locks. We can choose our future. That’s the opposite of fatalism.
