People tend to become conspiratorial when they don't know how things work. Therefore, conspiracy theories are merely "Ignorance on parade"

Empathy and compassion hurt. Opportunities to effect a difference are usually both rare and costly. Feeling ineffectual feels like loss of control. Therefore it takes courage, stamina, and strength to withstand the massive temptation to put aside empathy and compassion!

I really miss the days when corporations pretended not to be evil!

Real security is a wavy line. A trade off with functionality. What can be used for good, can also be used for evil. Don't spend more to protect something than it costs to replace it.

"Security" in tech is a way to wall off people and build yourself a silo. Good for job security, discrimination, and more all in name of protecting resources from the people who need them.
