Cypherpunk failures

Speaking of laws by Christmas, anyone want to give odds on the accuracy of Tim May's prediction on September 13: Dark times are coming. I'll bet a complete ban on strong, unescrowed crypto is passed in all European countries, Russia, China, Japan, and the U.S. by, say, December 15th. and I'm betting, as I said in my last post, that strong unescrowed crypto will be illegal by December 15th. Does anyone think this prediction will come true? Or is it as mistaken as so many other Tim May predictions over the years? And by the way, who was Tim May betting with? Hopefully the sum they stand to gain is substantial. The larger question is, what is it about the cypherpunk worldview which is so wrong? Why do cypherpunks constantly predict events which don't come true? And is this faulty vision responsible for the failure of the cypherpunks to maintain their cultural and technological influence, and to make progress towards their goals? The most crippling error of the cypherpunks has been their unremitting pessimism. Ever since the group was created they have predicted imminent crackdowns on cryptography. And yet the trend has consistently been in the opposite direction. Rather than keeping to an optimistic vision of a better world, cypherpunks have sunk into a morass of doomsaying. The Y2K debacle was perhaps the most prominent example of failed pessimism. Why work on crypto if the world is coming to an end? Another mistake has been to view the world in simplistic terms of black and white, true patriots versus those who "need killin'". Government in this view is a monolithic entity with the single-minded goal of destroying individual rights and creating a tyrannical dictatorship. Society is composed of "sheeple" who are ignorant of their own best interests and easily manipulated by those in power. This view ignores the complex nature of political and corporate influence and the many competing groups which vie for power in the world. And of course much energy has been wasted in internal debate and rhetoric which, because founded on these erroneous points, has been useless and irrelevant. It's easier to moan and complain when bad things happen than to adopt a positive view of the world and work in an optimistic way to make it happen. Meanwhile the most interesting technological changes are passing the cypherpunks by. The open source movement, peer to peer exchange, the music and copyright wars, all have had little impact in the cypherpunk world. Peer to peer technology alone has tremendous potential as a foundation for long-term cypherpunk dreams like anonymizing proxies, encrypted data sharing, eternity, even DC nets. Encryption should be a fundamental part of file sharing systems. Digital reputations are the solution to the problem of bogus data being maliciously inserted into networks in order to clog them and interfere with searches. Crypto protocols can help against some kinds of denial of service attacks. If cypherpunks had been engaged in the world over the last few years instead of staring into their pessimistic navels, they could have played a part in today's revolutions. As it is, they appear to be "headed for the trash heap of history," to use Tim May's unfortunate phrase. Maybe it's not too late. But if this group is ever to resume its role as an exciting place where the future of computing is visible, it must refocus its efforts. Cypherpunks should think positively, look past current troubles, and start talking again about crypto technology and how it can change the world. That would be a conversation worth having.

Maybe once average people become fully comfortable with the idea of online banking and bill-paying services, they'll be more receptive. I think it might just be a question of widespread digital cash being few years ahead of its time. Also, I wouldn't rule out the "intelligence divide" as a factor here: if half the population has an IQ under 100, what are you doing to make your product accessible to people of average intelligence, and below? AOL is so popular for a reason: ease of use while providing services average people really care about (all that family, community and chat garbage, etc). So maybe it's worth putting a little effort into thinking of ways to AOLize (for lack of a better term) digital cash: a mass market reqires mass appeal. Something that's all-too-easy to forget, especially if you're the kind of person who got all excited over learning how to program BASIC in elementary school, the way most of us probably did. ~Faustine. *** The right to be let alone is indeed the beginning of all freedoms. - --William O.
