Deep Fakes & The Future of Reality

Positively Pedestrian

In this episode of Positively Pedestrian, we discuss the cultural, social, and individual implications of how Deep Fake and related technologies threaten reality itself. Virtual, augmented, mixed, and other emerging realities may soon be capable of creating a blurred line between digital and analog reality and what that might mean for society. We also look at the USA government as a Kleptocracy, or otherwise a collection of industrial complexes that creates financial socialism for the ultra-wealthy and brutal free-market capitalism for everyone else. Perhaps it is time for a long-needed counterculture to emerge to help transition us toward a human industrial complex, one that puts people over profit and helps transition government power away from the Kleptocrats and back to We The People.
