*"As passwords first appeared at the MIT AI Lab I decided to follow my belief that there should be no passwords... I don't believe it's desirable to have security on a computer."* -- [Richard Stallman](rms.md) (from the book *Free As In Freedom*)
Computer security (also cybersecurity) is a [bullshit](bullshit.md) field of study of designing computer systems so as to make them hard to ["attack"](fight_culture.md) (which usually means accessing "sensitive" information, manipulating it or destabilizing the system itself). At the dawn of computer era security wasn't such a big deal as society wasn't yet so fucked up and didn't depend on computers so much, the damage one could cause by exploiting computers was limited, however once consumer technology became forced by [capitalism](capitalism.md) and put into EVERYTHING -- companies, governments, streets, homes, clothes, even human bodies and things that can work better without such technology (see e.g. [Internet of stinks](iot.md)) -- [privacy](privacy.md) became another bullshit issue of society as cracking now theoretically allows not only killing individuals but wiping whole countries off the map. Recently security has really become a lot about ensuring digital "[privacy](privacy.md)", it is causing a great deal of hysteria.

Everyone is obsessed with security nowadays and most of security business is just security theater.
**If you want security, the most basic thing to do is to disconnect from the [Internet](internet.md).** Just never use it. If you are really serious, you HAVE TO stop using widely used human languages such as [English](english.md), you simply have to **learn an obscure language** of some jungle tribe that no one else knows and use that exclusively for your encrypted messages (like they did with the [Navajo](navajo.md) language during WWII). All in all for maximum security it's best if you never do anything at all, just lie in bed and be safe.
