You don’t know what’s true anymore because there are so many conflicting sources of info. 

You just moved from newspapers to digital but can’t trust that anymore bc of deep fakes.

I agree. I describe it as people who feel like they are living in quicksand. And it is so important that we find a way to get better at embracing change. Without that kneejerks threaten to pull us backwards as a society.
