I think it's a dangerous mindset to doubt everything you can't see with your own eyes. There was this fringe group claiming that the war in Ukraine is fake, that there's no war. With this mindset, such claims will become more mainstream, you could even call it reasonable.
- acureau 2y agoThat is very unnerving to think about. If video evidence could currently be flawlessly faked it'd give some legitimacy to those claims. If we do reach this point the value of a source will shift from "I can prove it" to "you can trust me", and I do not think that will be for the better. I'm not yet ready to live in a completely subjective world, where truth and falsity have equal weight.
