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.

Maybe, though there are various audited open source solutions. If they were on there, I'd expect it to be at the hardware level?
