I second this: HTTPS (as most consumers use it) is probably a front (who are these CA's really anyway?)
Plot twist: _Perhaps_ Mythos / Fable keeps explaining ways (that we can't comprehend or don't always work) to break HTTPS due to the three letter agencies making sure they had input on their creation (and thus backdoors, I mean "bugs"), so the real catastrophe they are hiding is that HTTPS is broken (for most people, most of the time.)
Remember when Quantum computing was the threat to HTTPS? Turns out it was the humans own inability to think outside of the box!
I wouldn't go that far. I remember https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firesheep - HTTPS-everywhere was unambiguously an improvement over the status quo.
It just doesn't protect you all that well from nation-scale adversaries.
