I don't think that the OP is totally mad, because I am in favour of repression of unneccesary and possibly dangerous knowledge, but the "dangers" of it are more than a little over-stated and based mostly on opinion, not fact, by the OP. You don't even mention how this could be done in a remotely realistic way.
So you do not want to know if you have a pedophile or rapist next door? You do not want to know you can call the cops if someone attacks you? Sure they should not be able to sell books about "How to kill" But the OP is mad and needs to be ignored since they are clearly planning to kill us all or is delusional with some sort of mental illness characterized by paranoia.
I think this is a plot. He wants to convince us to pull the information since they are in it and since they are in it we know to be careful. If we do not see him coming he can strike without warning. I see the scheme of the OP or else he is just truly insane and wants to destroy the government.
Who do you trust to decide what should be concealed? I certainly dont trust governments or academics to make such decisions. The world has always decided, as a whole, what to do with knowledge. The formula for ANFO is simple and well known and it is a very powerful explosivd that can be made from readily available components. It has been used ( McVeigh in OK City) but rarely. Secrets come out and knowledge spreads, we have to deal with it.
Do you support dangerous knowledge being made unavailable?
