How to stay human when everything can be faked

🤖📖 Philip K. Dick wrote "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" in 1968 — decades before AI, social media, or deepfakes. Yet somehow he predicted the reality-bending world we'd be living in 2025.

This video explores how Dick's acid trip of a novel (which became the classic film Blade Runner) reveals four uncomfortable truths about our current reality: how we're already living in manufactured, changeable reality; why we're losing an empathy arms race against AI; how his characters predicted the people we're becoming; and why we're all practicing artificial religion through our screens.
