@sydneyfalk @scarly The people who did think this way were the Steve Jobs's of the world who wanted computers to just be a black-box appliance-- no user servicable parts inside. They gave us closed platforms that can and are being used to exploit us. I'm not sure how to square this circle: open platforms that empower non-technical users but also empower technical users (to tinker, modify, improve, observe, audit) at the same time.
