Do you not see the problem in societies being unable to share trusted and accurate information about reality? I mean that is 100% required for any interpersonal relationship between two people let alone a community.

I do see the problem. I'm saying that ship sailed long before the computer age. Photos have been manipulated with analog means before. Currently we're in a state of still placing undue trust.

What I'm hoping is that we'll find means to actually build trust, e.g. with signing as we discussed here. I'm not entirely confident in that, but wouldn't it be nice if we engineers had a hand in building some useful tools for society? :)

Is it? We did ok before the invention of audio and visual recording.
