Yes. Freedom can be used for good or bad. I assume the lecturer was talking about crypto being used mostly in crime, which happens because it’s not controlled by an institution that can confiscate it.

The way it’s phrased here makes freedom look good, but don’t forget it actually means there’s valid arguments for limiting freedom just as much as for limiting control. You have to get into a lot more detail to really get anywhere.

I would suspect the original lecture went into more detail.

Shit, I’m going to have to watch the original.

I’m sad I missed that, actually.

Dr Strangelove parodying atomic terror movies like Fail Safe

I legit didn’t know it was parodying something else. I thought it was just gallows humour.

Nobody watches the other airliner movies, but at least with Airplane! you know you’re watching a parody.

Edit: Per other people in this thread, apparently not.
