I honestly am puzzled: the both of you (if I understand you right), do you really think some fake videos will cause there to "be no such thing as trust"? Why? Videos aren't the only way to understand the world, and there was

I think you describe the conventional wisdom well here. But: are those really the only options? Paranoid stop-the-world wishful thinking or all-new-trends-are-inevitable? I realise I'm almost certainly wildly misrepresenting your poin

U2F has been around for a long time and has worked great for me for email (and is more of a real second factor than TOTP: you just plug it in and push the button and it does its crypto thing). There are similar newer standards like FIDO2.

According to Popperian epistemology, there are no justified beliefs, only guesses that have been exposed to tests of some sort. I think David Deutsch has even used a formulation of words something similar to: "you shouldn't belie
