Reading philosophy, even introductory works, can make wonders in the
understanding of the world around us. Just don't dive into texts older
than say 50 years.

Right. You think. The others have the same position. Yet people are far
from perfect. This is why security and anonymity should be in the design

Belief spells religion and leads to dogmatism. So it should be avoided.
The answer is "we don't know".

Repressive regimes use almost perfect tools like rubber hose cryptography.

Also repressive regimes have a rather good control over the information.
That is what allows them to be represive. And it is far easier to locate
