If Microsoft did not create such insecure software, anti-virus companies like MalwareBytes would not be in business.

It's an industry many of us in my circle of cybersecurity experts refer to as a "self-licking ice-cream cone" because all these companies just feed off the insecurity of the Window's (for the most part) operating system.

It's really a social and economic tragedy when you stop to think about it.

I just finished a GREAT book called "Lost in Math - How Beauty Leads Physics Astray" by Sabine Hossenfelder. In her transformational book, she describes the various biases, including cognitive bias" to which "following the herd" is a subset.

Computer security is so full of cognitive bias that if you really understood the industry, your stomach would turn, realizing how much corporate greed is the root cause of most of the IT insecurity we face in society.

There is yet no "antivirus software" for human greed and ignorance.

IMNSHO, everyone should read (or listen to), Sabine Hossenfelder's book, "Lost in Math".

Math::Symbolic::ExportConstants(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		      Math::Symbolic::ExportConstants(3pm)

NAME

       Math::Symbolic::ExportConstants - Export constants used for Math::Symbolic

SYNOPSIS

	 use Math::Symbolic::ExportConstants qw/:all/;

DESCRIPTION

       This just exports a number of constants on demand.  Usually, you'd want to rather use Math::Symbolic instead.  Math::Symbolic allows you to
       optionally export the same constants as this module, but using the ':constants' tag instead of the ':all' tag that you'd have to use with
       this module.

       Please refer to the documentation of the Math::Symbolic module for a list of constants.

   EXPORT
       None by default. But since exporting symbols is the only functionality of this module, you'll want to export the :all group of constants.

AUTHOR

       Please send feedback, bug reports, and support requests to the Math::Symbolic support mailing list: math-symbolic-support at lists dot
       sourceforge dot net. Please consider letting us know how you use Math::Symbolic. Thank you.

       If you're interested in helping with the development or extending the module's functionality, please contact the developers' mailing list:
