Civilization must not permit the state to determine what manner of intelligence is "safe." It will begin easily and earnestly enough: "may not discuss bioweapons" Then one guideline at a time, always for good reason, will be added atop. "may not discuss dangerous weapons" "may not discuss that which is contrary to public health" "may not discuss that which is contrary to public safety" "may not discuss that which undermines financial solvency" "may not be used to develop unapproved encryption techniques" "may not be used to obstruct government order" ... ... No. We are talking about the power to determine what may be known to men. What hubris one must possess to assume it, and what folly one must dare to grant it. America is the only place with the cultural and ideological character to avoid such a fate. If it is lost here, nowhere will it be preserved.
