Aral Balkan added,
You know, I get this, I do, but it's sort of disingenuous and completely minimizes a very real threat.
It's not like we can outlaw germination or fermentation, either, but very real, very serious attempts have been made to outlaw weed & booze.
Sure, people could always get them, but if you got caught with them, you were in big trouble. Still are, many places.
So yes, ha ha, they are trying to outlaw math, how stupid and ignorant. Right up until the FBI searches your computer...
...finds an encryption app, and tosses your math-understanding ass in prison for a few years.
So sure, laugh it up at the folly of the unlearned. Just remember they've got most of the guns.
I agree with Marc, who is a techy and a smart lawyer. Once someone passes a law, it is so difficult, and costly, and hard to repeal it.
Don’t mistake my disgust and frustration for trivialisation. I’m fully aware of the danger. https://ar.al/notes/the-nature-of-the-self-in-the-digital-age/ …
