This is interesting because it speaks to one of the existentially troubling aspects of being human. That is the fact that there is no evidence that we can really trust for any external reason. This goes to the point that Descartes made many years ago: 1. Scientific evidence -- that's just words some other ape like yourself wrote down you now believe. 2. Personal experience -- those are just memories of experiences you think you had, but you can't really be sure, you just ask your brain and it responds, once that stops working you never "had the experience". 3. Photographs and video -- well those are just captured images, and any image or data can be changed. There is no "sacred data" that can not be manipulated. 4. Trusted institutions: just more flawed apes that you hope are more trustworthy than those they are instructing, controlling, and / or in charge of. 5. Rules / Laws: pieces of writing on paper that we all choose to adhere to. History shows that people can begin deciding not to follow them at any time, they have no power in and of themselves, only people have power, and usually because they are willing to wield violence (e.g. police, military, resistance, militia). In the end all you have is the certainty that you are indeed experiencing something, but living with the ego-shattering realization that nothing else is certain or under your control is a very large red pill to swallow.
