This becomes a revolution not when it became true in the noughties and not when it became rigorous by 2020, but when it became something to do.
As more and more quantum is added to brute compute an associated quantum key infrastructure gets rolled out. More quantum security means more hacking at the associated classical infrastructure, more traffic analysis, more testing for Bell inequalities further and further out.
Less fringe theory and more practical industry every day.
Things happen faster these days so - sooner, rather than later - the governing ideology comes into play. The present left-liberal consensus reflects a past we're being passed out of. Cryptoanarchist cybernetics is a better fit. Singularity chance favors the prepared mind. Too dogmatic?
The singularity may arrive any day now just muddling through. No biggie.
Excellent political economy is the mortal enemy of good social democracy.
There is no question about that.
