It's not often we see an active and overt defense of ignorance.  Good work, Vladimir!  But to really avoid being contaminated by evil knowledge, I recommend the following 12-step program:

1.  Admit that you are powerless to get a clue. Print out this message for reference.

2.  Unsubscribe from Cypherpunks, and all other sources of information that might be relevant.

3.  Unsubscribe from all sources of information that probably aren't relevant, to avoid hostile agents forcing you into unwitting coercion.

4.  Read William S. Burroughs books until you begin to see your neighbors as giant cockroaches and slugs.

4a. In the event that you already see them this way, read Burroughs until they look like something else.

5.  Join as many religions as possible, so that you have incompatible memes busily protecting you from facts.

12. Seal your head in a plastic bag until you suffocate.

This will protect you from such problems in the future.

Hope this helps!
