Security Basics: RE: Defamation and the diffculties of law on the Internet.
Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2008
This post goes to those cowards who sit behind anonymity on the web and cast
doubt and aspersions about people whilst hiding. I note that most defamatory comments are anonymous. Cowards!
An anonymous poster (not this list, but the person I suspect does subscribe to this one) stated that there are doubts with my qualifications. Anonymity is the shield of cowards, it is the cover used to defend their lies. My life
is open and I have little care for my privacy - so in my case this is an easy charge to defend.
SANS GIAC
This is the daftest to challenge and easiest to contest.
http://www.giac.org/certifications/gse-compliance.php or go to
http://www.giac.org/certified_professionals/and type in "Craig Wright" It is not difficult to check.
As I am the ONLY GSE-Compliance (verify if you like) it is an EASY validation.
I do not use it on my title - long enough, but I am a SANS/GIAC Technical Director as well. This is harder to check, but email Stephen Northcutt if you like.
I have about 25 GIAC Certs - so please pick on them all you like.
ISACA.
I do not know the process to validate with ISACA. However I have a CISA and
CISM.

Computers don’t make decisions. The notion that contracts can be automated and seeking a legislative and judicial response to acknowledge that code is law is merely a means to shirk responsibility.[1] Individuals who create systems that profit through the operation of computer-based systems need to take responsibility for the effects of the systems they are running. The duties that go along with running a system associated with a profit-making activity include ensuring that the system acts within the laws that apply to its operation and the rules associated with the application being run.
[1] See Tim Wu; Lessig.
Whilst a node can come and go at will, the operator of the node decides to either follow the honest chain and support this against any attacker, to leave the network and come back at a later point in time, leaving any potential profit that is to be earned behind or sides with the attacker and becomes vicariously liable for the actions of the attacker.

DeFi is NOT automated - it is always and only set by HUMANS - ones who want to hide as they are all criminals!
There is not a single non-criminal use case that DeFi provides - every single thing DeFi does is more efficient and better when not controlled by anon hidden actors.

There is no GAI, or general Artificial Intelligence.
We are not within 40 years of creating one, we have no idea what consciousness is, we have no idea where to start. And, AI as we have is is not a path to consciousness. Ever.
So, any AI is just an algorithm that people create, that is tuned to mostly deliver a statistically standardised result.

Most of us want the same common ends. We want people in poverty to have a way to achieve more to learn more, and become educated.
The majority of us want a clean and sustainable world, where forests will still be available in the future, and the air will be clean for our children.
Most people, and by this, I mean nearly everybody, want those underprivileged to have a means to work their way out of poverty and engage in society to gain benefits and experience social mobility as they achieve all they can.
Some people only want what they can for themselves. For those, I have nothing to offer. For the others who want to see a better world, what we should be doing is not fighting but openly addressing the questions that need to be addressed.
The issue is not race or white privilege or any of that other trash. It is poverty and how we address it through society at different levels. You cannot just say that someone is poor. You have to ask why they are poor. Is there something that is stopping them from gaining or doing more? Do they have opportunities to grow?
Can we compare that with other groups such as migrants? For example, in the USA, when we look at migrant groups from Africa or places like Haiti, they compare with migrants from India or other nations.
White privilege does not exist. Privilege because of wealth does. My children are not white but rather mixed. That does not mean that they have white privilege; it means that they have wealthy parent privilege. I was white trash despite the efforts of my mother. We were poor, and we had less than most people in poverty, which is a lack of privilege in itself. So, you cannot simply say privilege because someone is white or privilege because someone is anything else, but rather, you have to look at things on a case-by-case basis. You need to investigate what is impacting the individual, not the group.
Marks stated that the theory of Communist and Socialist regimes could be summed up in but one sentence - the abolition of private property in all forms.
When this occurs, they will want to make things better for their own children. That is the use of their capital. It is a better use than investing in a yacht or a holiday or more expensive bottles of wine. These are the trade-offs that people make, and paying for education for their children is one of those things that people do with the alternative of having another Aspen ski holiday.
To simply say that this is wrong is to downplay some of the other aspects of life. It is to ignore what people can achieve and to allow them to be rewarded for it. When we take away the ability for people to make their own wealth and capital then we take away the incentives for people to work hard and build a better society.
Equally, we don’t want people just going after money for money sake.
Markets are about the development of capital goods and services. There is this widescale confusion at the moment that exchanges and financial systems are markets. They are not. Markets involve the trade of goods and the trade of services. Markets involve delivery to the consumer. The intermediary systems may be necessary, but equally, when they become widely distributed and a part of society as a democratised ideal, these are no longer markets but a widescale universal casino.

Stop thinking about how you can get rich instantly.
Stop thinking about how without working you can be rich.
I am rich not because I can invent something and retire.
I am rich because I will never retire, I will never give up.
I am fifty years old and I am still in university.
I have been in university since the 1980s and I will be in universities when I am in my 80s
Not because I just want to have idle knowledge but because I need to know more to build more and to deliver what I need to deliver to society.
I have money and because they have money I have a duty.
I don’t have the right to sit on my ass and do nothing.
I don’t have the right to stop working.
I have money because I have the obligation to work harder and longer. I have been entrusted with money from society because I have the ability to use it to create and build. And as such, it is my duty to work until I can no longer work.
That is the attitude you need to have
When things get hard.
Work harder. Study more. Use the skills that God gave you and find a way to solve the problems that you have. Don’t despair. Don’t worry about the bullies in the assholes who will try and take you down.
Do better than them and that’s how you beat them

I am starting to think that I need to create a form of covenant for any money that I donate to aid students in the future. If they receive money, it will not be repayable unless they start basing claims on anecdotal evidence and social justice concepts that are not based on anything other than socialism. If they accept money, they would have a scholarship. Still, it would be payable with interest any moment that they provide advocacy for this alternative view without providing evidence and by evidence in real evidence and not claims that someone said someone said and other hearsay.
An example of something is the move to try and remove the statues of Cecil Rhodes from Oxbridge universities. The £400 million or so given by Rhodes should be handed back if they don’t want his money. At least it’s around £400 million now in the endowment.
If you want to make a point, you don’t get to make a point and keep the money. This seems to be what people think they can do now. This needs to be made clear.
You can give up your job as a professor because there is no funding or you can keep working and understand that person you don’t like personally is the one who made the endowment that is paying you.
unfortunately, they have gone full Rothbard and have this government is always bad mentality now
I am a member but, that is not something that I can support
I don't believe in anarchy
anyone who analyses anything will find anarchy is never good
one thing I'm learning from all of this is some things neeed to be kept secret
if we want to make something that works the way we want can't let everyone know what we're tryying to do because then that makes a flaw in the system

Let me summarise what I see many people are saying is occurring.
A group of people have come to believe that bitcoin is X.
These same people are now finding out that bitcoin is not X but it is Y
The people who are upset are upset because they have listened to individuals who promised them X, but these same individuals have failed to put the effort into reading the White Paper that defines bitcoin not as an anonymous system, not as a system of ownership by possession but rather a digital cash system and not a cryptocurrency that maintains public records and is based on a chain of ownership.
Some people are upset with government and other regulations, in part because of their own lives and they need someone to blame and governments a big target that is easy and in part because of the problems we have a government are derive directly from changes in education and the lack of interest people have in voting and changing the system. Not by attacking it but by being part of it.
A lot of this has been compounded by social media. People think that they are doing something important by clicking like. You are not changing society on social media. You are not doing. You are not part of anything. When you sit complaining on Twitter, you are taking away from time you could be educating yourself, time that you could be building a company and time that you could be creating and learning. The arguments that you create on Twitter I designed to be emotionally charged which is the opposite of a process designed to follow through and find truth.
You cannot be emotionally charged an answer a question rationally through a Twitter process.
The so-called crypto anarchist or anarco capitalist conceptualisation of society is logically flawed. The United States of America is a democracy. In any system such as a Rothbardian collective even, the rules set by the group must be enacted within the group. If you don’t like them, you can leave. If you are living in the United States, the majority of that collective, that group, that community have set rules. It does not matter that you do not like those rules. You have the option of leaving. Somebody like Mr Ver has taken that auction and left. But, that does not give you the option of saying that individuals who were still in that society are not able to have their own rules.
The rules within the United States apply to all applications of commerce that Mr Ver might want to make with the United States. Mr Ver and others like him can set up their small isolated useless communities and see how they survive. There are anarchist societies right now. There are a number of these in Somalia. They are typical of what happens when an anarchist system is there leaving a power vacuum, warlords have come and taken control and these individuals fight constantly for power and control.

Some people are upset with government and other regulations, in part because of their own lives and they need someone to blame and governments a big target that is easy and in part because of the problems we have a government are derive directly from changes in education and the lack of interest people have in voting and changing the system. Not by attacking it but by being part of it.
A lot of this has been compounded by social media. People think that they are doing something important by clicking like. You are not changing society on social media. You are not doing. You are not part of anything. When you sit complaining on Twitter, you are taking away from time you could be educating yourself, time that you could be building a company and time that you could be creating and learning. The arguments that you create on Twitter I designed to be emotionally charged which is the opposite of a process designed to follow through and find truth.
You cannot be emotionally charged an answer a question rationally through a Twitter process.
The so-called crypto anarchist or anarco capitalist conceptualisation of society is logically flawed. The United States of America is a democracy. In any system such as a Rothbardian collective even, the rules set by the group must be enacted within the group. If you don’t like them, you can leave. If you are living in the United States, the majority of that collective, that group, that community have set rules. It does not matter that you do not like those rules. You have the option of leaving. Somebody like Mr Ver has taken that auction and left. But, that does not give you the option of saying that individuals who were still in that society are not able to have their own rules.
The rules within the United States apply to all applications of commerce that Mr Ver might want to make with the United States. Mr Ver and others like him can set up their small isolated useless communities and see how they survive. There are anarchist societies right now. There are a number of these in Somalia. They are typical of what happens when an anarchist system is there leaving a power vacuum, warlords have come and taken control and these individuals fight constantly for power and control.
