You Are Not Safe

Halt and Catch Fire 3×8

& Ryan: What the hell is that?
    FBI Agent: Oh, kid, you’ve never seen a packet sniffer? Meet your worst enemy.

& Donna: Do you have a better suggestion?
    Bosworth: Something with a faint hint of truth to it, maybe?
    Donna: Oh, so I should say that she’s a temperamental narcissist with self-destructive tendencies who doesn’t work with others?!

& Joe: Look at us. Two unemployed CEOs both ousted from our companies. Mine’s toast and yours is going public.

& Cameron: Joe can be... surprisingly forgiving. Maybe it’s because he’s screwed up his own life so many times.

& Bosworth: Well... you never know what might hit a nerve.

& Cameron: It’s called the «Spacebike Chronicles.» ... And when she arrives at a new place, she tries to win one of the five senses. Each one arms her with a different power. A sense of proportion allows her to change size. A sense of humor allows her to fend off most forms of attack. A sense of self allows her to appear and disappear. Okay, well, decency doesn’t give her an actual power, but it makes it possible for her to win the rarest sense of all... common sense, which lets her see everything more clearly.
    Tom: It’s beautiful. How do you win?
    Cameron: You don’t, you just get to keep playing.

& Joe: I’m done.

& Ryan: «I, Ryan Ray, released the MacMillan Utility source code. I acted alone. No one helped me, and no one told me to do it. I did this because ’security’ is a myth.
    Contrary to what you might have heard, my friends, you are not safe. Safety is a story. It’s something we teach our children so they can sleep at night, but we know it’s not real.
    Beware, baffled humans. Beware of false prophets who will sell you a fake future, of bad teachers, corrupt leaders and dirty corporations. Beware of cops and robbers... the kind that rob your dreams. But most of all, beware of each other, because everything’s about to change.
    The world is going to crack wide open. There’s something on the horizon. A massive connectivity. The barriers between us will disappear, and we’re not ready. We’ll hurt each other in new ways. We’ll sell and be sold. We’ll expose our most tender selves, only to be mocked and destroyed. We’ll be so vulnerable, and we’ll pay the price. We won’t be able to pretend that we can protect ourselves anymore.
    It’s a huge danger, a gigantic risk, but it’s worth it. If only we can learn to take care of each other. Then this awesome, destructive new connection won’t isolate us. It won’t leave us in the end so... totally alone.»
