Yeah, I work with a ton of them. I still cannot fathom how many super-smart people were led by their noses by idiot groupthink.
I see a common thread, though...
They all put their faith in science, rather than just their critical thinking faculties.
And I get where their heads are at: mRNA very well could be the holy grail in immunology. It isn't there now. They wanted it to be something it isn't; but meme magic only works on .win (not Twitter).
Theres been a lot of chatter that an internet blackout could be acheived by just taking out DNS root servers.
Take out the DNS servers (physically or by exploiting a flaw like the one this Kaminsky guy discovered), and the internet becomes pretty much unsuable.
The importance of DNS root servers isn’t widely discussed—the end user rarely needs to worry about them—but in the grand scheme of things, they truly are the Internet’s backbone.
When it comes to security, the DNS is still one of the most overlooked parts of an organization’s infrastructure.
It would not really be a black out since everything will still be up and running. You would need a local host file to keep running or know the actual IP address of the site you're trying reach. There are also MANY DNS servers on the internet that you can manually repoint to.
You don't need to make it impossible, just inconvenient. People love being lied to. It's easy as hell to get around China's great firewall but almost nobody does.
Hell, going on parts of the internet other than facebook/twitter/google feels like a completely different network. Normal people don't organically end up on the open internet anymore and that's without any barriers in place yet.
Yes but who knows the actual IP addresses of any websites?
Would using google/cloudflare DNS servers actually get around a root server attack?
And could this "DNS cache poisoning" that he discovered (The DNS design vulnerability that has still not been fully fixed) be used to point everyone to an impersonated website if you are using host files/direct IPs methods?
Knew i recognised that name from somewhere...
Damn, I worked on a project with him about 12 years ago. Read the article hoping is wasn't "that" Dan Kaminski.
A bit nutty but bona-fide genius level dude.
I also know “geniuses” that lined up like cattle for their shots...

I feel like the floor has dropped so low simply being able to follow along with basic concepts earns someone the title of "genius"
They may be an scholar but if they're not thinking critically all the time they're not a genius. More like an idiot savant if you ask me.
THIS ☝? Being a “genius” also means trusting “authorities”/sources. Sounds like an msm overdose to me.

this is why we got them there spacex satellites up now
