If kids are depressed from looking at the fakeness of people on Instagram, how are they going to feel put up against the possibility of these AI created perfected people?

Same as every time in history when cultures have gone morally bankrupt and nobody can be trusted, they'll keep isolating.

  How do you become someone people can visibly see as a person of trust in a society like this? I know religion doesn’t do it, that’s for sure. The only thing I can think of is some kind of authenticity.

    New innovations - gives you PTSD every day. Computeres and technology used to be fun. It hasn't been for years. We're building ourselves a horrible future. If it wasn't my main income I would have stopped using them and moved into the woods long ago. I've seen this comming. It's no wonder that birth rates are plummeting world wide. The only help I can think of is divine intervention or if someone has a very well hidden plan to work it out. For authenticity to work it needs to be universal and I'm not sure that is the case.

      Yes, same story for me. But I got out of it in 1999. I seem to have mentally foreseen the crash coming and it portrayed itself as a mood disorder. I know many of you will disagree with me on this, but I also think a large problem is the increase in both extremely low frequency, and radio frequency, electromagnetic fields. No one can tell me that the bloody nose I get whenever I use laptops that emit high levels of low frequency electromagnetic radiation is psychosomatic.

      The birth rates are plummeting because people are taking longer to start their lives. Women are in school until 23 and tend to change partners at 26. This means there is a 9 year window of being marriable for children until 35 at which fertility dramatically declines. I'm talking about five trips to an IVF clinic or 75% chance of conception using donor eggs for a just a single child. I don't want to see this too negatively though. In principle the pool of women who stay fertile longer will outproduce women who lose their fertility too early. It also means there is genetic selection for longer lifespans in general.

        As someone who knocked up their wife, who is well over 35, this year, I think your understanding of the drastic drop off in fertility at that age is exaggerated. All of what you said I do expect to be the expectation past 40 though.

Reminds me of the plot device from Surrogates https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0986263/?ref_=nm_flmg_t_63_act https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0986263/?ref_=nm_flmg_t_63_act Basically everyone was afraid to go outside and show their true nature and would curate from the safety of their home a perfect outward appearance.
