Awesome conversation. I've been thinking about this topic lately. Very helpful.

Bro so glad someone liked it!

1st person perspective will gain prominence thanks to deepfakes. This is a good thing I think, since I'm a fan of local community/governance rather than global social networks/nationalism/internationalism. Bring back the ancient Greek city states!

Great info and perspective. In constructive encouragement one notes the over use of the word "like" was a bit deflating to the intended effect. To profer unsolicited over psychological reflections, waxing deep on similacral representations while echoing the word "like" (every 6th word) becomes a bit hypnotic. Homie should not take this to heart, but a two day silent retreat is a great chance to deprogram glitches LIKE that. 🥰 All that easily set aside, I am greatfull for so much work boiled down and served up for dilettante cliffnote Ninja wannabees like yours truely.

The interesting thing is that eyewitness testimony becomes the best form of evidence next to firsthand experience. What’s interesting about this, is that a strange but not uncommon rebuttal I’ve always heard is why couldn’t Jesus have had his resurrection and miracles recorded in some way or happened during an era when video footage was around- not that such evidence would solve or gratify anyone but now, except for firsthand experience, the kind of eyewitness testimony in the New Testament is pretty much the best you can do Because even old historical footage could be deep-faked and video footage has hardly been around for even a century yet

That's a good point!
