Read_927 – Poe’s Law Comes Into Full Flower
“To describe what’s coming as “impossibly borked” is charitable. This is going to be an unholy mess of indiscernible media, messaging, photography, and fakery. … “reality fade” into fractal digital fog will stress even the highest trust networks.”
~ El Gato Malo
What happens when anything and everything can be faked at essentially zero cost? When the line between parody and reality completely dissolves?
In this episode, I explore El Gato Malo’s brilliant piece on the coming “reality fracture” – but here’s the twist: what if this digital apocalypse is actually the best thing that could happen to humanity? What if the only escape from the infinite noise is a return to something we’ve lost – real trust, local connection, and the ancient art of asking why instead of obsessing over what?
