Weird. I can think of many current adversaries with very simple motivations I can do very little to nothing about. This assymmetry will only grow further in future, since the concentration of smarter, more vulnerable hardware will only get larger, and the delta between my and their capabilities will only grow wider. My only protection is that I'm not doing anything which could draw their (not meaning flatfeet or gumshoes here) attention.
I imagine it's like that weird random sand-walking the Fremen do. It becomes second nature after a while. Wait, was that nym-leakage ?
