Rather than putting real effort into this, I'm just going to say that Paul Vixie, the creator of DNS, advocates for using a local resolver (not your ISP's resolver), and DNSSEC. The internet is supposed to be decentralized, not centralized.

Cloudflare, Google, and all of these other centralized dns/ntp services are hazardous to our health.

I'm sure you're very knowledgable, but if Paul gives DNS advice, listen to him.

Ah, you're too busy to make the case. Aren't we all.

> DNSSEC. The internet is supposed to be decentralized, not centralized.

DNSSEC centralises the DNS system with governments.

Saying it doesn't make it so.

I'm familiar with Paul's view. Given that most people can't or won't run a local resolver, how does it help?
