The Digital Revolution Was a Disastrous Mistake

Paul Craig Roberts

“Nudify” deepfake bots remove clothes from victims in minutes, and millions are using them.

The disastrous consequences of the digital revolution are increasing exponentially.  Your face can be put on a person in a porn film. A clothed photo of you online can be unclothed.  Malwarebytes writes about the dangers from a politically correct leftwing perspective, such as objectifying women.  The biggest danger, however, is that the FBI and other police agencies can create images of a targeted person committing felonies and engaging in sex with under-aged persons.  Your voice can be captured and your lips synched with the words they put in your mouth.  So, you see, thanks to the digital revolution, not only are your bank account, investment account, and email hackable and insecure, but also incriminating evidence can be created to convict you.

Another casualty of the digital revolution is customer service. Think about how difficult it is to contact a customer service representative and how difficult it is to resolve a problem.  Think about the increasing authorizations you have to go through as service providers add more levels of security in a pointless effort to make an inherently insecure system secure.  Consider the frustration, stress, and wasted time. In the analogue days, one telephone call resolved the situation in a few minutes.  Now correcting a problem can require hours, even days.

It is amazing that people were so stupid as to think the digital revolution was a good thing.  The digital revolution is inconsistent with security and with freedom. The digital revolution is the enabler of tyranny.  Why was it imposed on us?

The digital revolution has even made your vacuum cleaner unreliable.
