Lets not teach programming at schools also since it introduces kids to computers, internet and ways how to hack the world around them. Lets not do that and dumb down just because we have a system and the system doesnt like our kids to be smart.

Corporate Boss: Hey how can we solve this issue we have with those peasants trying to hack us?
Thinker: We can improve our network security boss. We can integrate an SIEM, IDS, better firewalls, teach our people to detect spammy emails ...
Corporate Boss: Ahh, that seems like a lot of work. After all, i dont want my workers to be smarter and to know more then me. So what if, we can cut them from the internet?
Thinker: But boss, it is their right to learn and improve, so ...
Corporate Boss: Their right, who said they had rights.

Yeah thats where we are.
