KNOW OUR FOE.

1. It is U.S. policy-approved anarchy on autopilot.

Mindless madness is the comprehensive chaos consciously caused by 1990’s U.S. Wild West Internet policies of approved anarchy on autopilot that are continuously compounded by the national neglect of five Administrations, thirteen Congresses, and 17 Supreme Court Justices. Together they have neglected to protect the American people from harms and crimes online since 1996.

2. It is U.S. policy that is subverting the purposes of our U.S. Constitution.

Mindless madness is what happens when universal U.S. Internet policies’ anarchic purpose is antithetical and hostile to all the purposes of the U.S. Constitution. Online, it effectively abdicates governing; divides union; disestablishes justice; incites domestic chaos; neglects homeland security; subverts the general welfare; and takes away our rights and liberty to live freely.

3. It is U.S. policy that dehumanizes by harming humanity online.

Mindless madness is when government regresses to value technology over humanity and profit over people in official universal public policy. U.S. Internet policy perversely prevents protection of people to protect technological efficiency and corporate profits from actions by people and government. Thus, people have become dehumanized virtual chattel, and disenfranchised, data-indebted, indentured Americans. Minors are defenseless prey.

4. It is U.S. policy that rejects religious morals and secular ethics online.

Mindless madness is amoral U.S. Internet anarchy policy that rejects all standards of authority, conduct, good over evil, and right over wrong. That means online U.S. Government policy no longer promotes the Golden Rule/Ethic of Reciprocity – ‘treating others as you want to be treated’ – a rule found in some form in every major religion and secular ethical tradition. Instead, online it promotes a de facto ‘Rotten Rule’ of ‘do whatever you want to others,’ which robs people of their humanity.

5. It is an extreme experiment: Does technocracy & corporatocracy outperform democracy?

Mindless madness is U.S. public policy that empowers only Internet technology and firms to operate unfettered and autonomous at people’s risk and expense. This experiment grants technocrats and corporatcrats impunity to govern people like lab rats with one-sided Terms of Service and end user licensing agreements that deny people meaningful consent, rights, rule-of-law, due process, and access to justice.

6. It is a diametric double-standard policy causing widespread polarization and division.

Mindless madness is self-sabotaging Internet public policy that imposes a diametric double standard for legal/illegal conduct, i.e., government authority/accountability offline, but ~none online. This naturally incents diametric real vs. artificial selves, realities, and conducts. It also logically promotes divisive extremes i.e., extreme polarization, incitement, hate, bias, discrimination, rage, violence, and monopolization.   

7. It is extreme policy that causes extreme excesses everywhere.

Mindless madness is extreme policy effecting extremism and a nation divided in polarizing people, dividing states, inciting incivility/mobs, trampling truth/trust; and decivilizing America. Commercially, Internet impunity prioritizes profit over people, crony capitalism, a faux market, cheaters charter, liars license, and fraud farm. Banning borders, police, and protections online promotes national-insecurity, public unsafety, cybercrime, cyber-espionage, and terrorism-tolerance.

8. It is regressive policy that promotes the regress of reason and truth.

Mindless madness is primitivist policy advocacy that “disruption” is good when it regresses to chaos; “decentralized finance” is democratizing when it regresses to a fraud farm; “crypto” is currency, stable, and safe when it regresses to fraud, market crashes and survival of the richest; “permissionless innovation” is benign, when it regresses to law of the jungle; and “Evasive entrepreneurialism” is not innocent innovation but regress to primitivist, predatory, lawless disorder.

9. It is policy that surrenders America’s digital sovereignty, borders, and national security.

Mindless madness is U.S. policy that treats the Internet only as an unfettered speech network with absolutist free flow of information, and does not also treat it as the all-purpose, commercial, and criminal, conduct conduit, and weaponized battlefield infrastructure, that it has become. America has surrendered its online sovereignty and borders to foreign countries and bad actors. America isn’t adequately defending its governments, companies, organizations, and people from foreign attack and espionage online. Online, China and Russia disrupt America’s critical functions with impunity.

10. It is approved anarchy policy that worsens, not betters, people’s lives and futures.

Mindless madness is how Wild West Internet policy combines together to worsen not better people’s lives, futures, and potentials. Anarchic policy first regresses reason in demoting the need of self-preservation; second it disorders with no authority; third it endangers with no protections; fourth it corrupts with no standards; and fifth it dehumanizes with no rights.
