The UX issue is the one I have heard people worry about the most, and I think quite 
understandably. 

So reading through some recent literature on security and tying this to my deeper 
knowledge of modal logics - both frame based (Kripke) and neighborhood based (David Lewis) - 
and their evolution over the past 40 years in Category Theory,  plus tying that to 
my deep familiarity of the work Tim Berners-Lee and Dan Connolly on N3, and my
experience of the emergence of the web over the past 27 years, I have sketched out
how one has to think logically of this over the weekend.

The nice thing is that this logical reasoning has lead me to discover that there
is a way to overcome the equivalent in UX of the brain in the vat problem [1]
by inspiring oneself of the Apple Touch Bar present on MacBook Pros (they 
just released a new version this week). This is a second screen that could
be in part owned by the OS, and give up to date information (as a stock ticker) 
in case the company producing the software changed ownership, or in fact
warning messages in case of deeper problem.

I  have the feeling this can really open some new possibilities that
are very much worth looking at.
