Ambient Authority... it's the computer equivalent of giving the full electrical grid, unrestricted in any way, to every single outlet in your house. No fuses, circuit breakers, or other protection.
Yet this is the underlying design that Linux, Windows, MacOS are all based on.
We have ways to default to NO authority, and still make computers just as easy to use, but we don't do it. Because it would require reconfiguring everything, and porting a lot of code to new OSs.
