My current mental rabbit hole is quantum computing's impact on HTTPS and other forms of encryption that are currently believed to be resistant to brute force cracking/key determination. The math is what interests me most.
The primary RNG (random-number generator) software used for ALL modern encryption was co-developed by the CIA.
The CIA's public investment branch, In-Q-Tel, was the primary DONOR of IP patents to all modern major technology companies (Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, etc).
I would suggest it's safe to say that modern encryption has been successfully backdoored from it's conception.
