If all pictures and videos can be manipulated into whatever someone wants us to think or see, then surely someone could be set up for murder?
With technology and AI booming at the speed they are, time is our most precious commodity.
What wouldn’t I do to save it Pay someone. Delegate. Even lock myself in energetic frustration over how much time I’m wasting compared to what I could be gaining if I just did the thing I keep avoiding. (Yes. I’m talking to you… taxes)
Enter the wonderful world of AI Our new creative agency A place to decompress. To debrief. To process. To seek solitude, reasoning, mentorship.
Our #1 hype friend.
And yet… I wonder what the polarity of this will mean for human life.
Technology is outgrowing us faster than it takes to birth a child to their second birthday.
So what does this mean for law enforcement? For media? For truth?
Footage can now be doctored into a fake reality. Entire narratives fabricated with terrifying precision.
Will our decisions really be ours anymore?
We’re only just now collectively admitting that mental health exists. That it impacts individuals. That conditioning shapes not only how we see the world, but who we believe we are— unless we actively do the work to discover otherwise.
And the deeper you go into this work, the more you realise resonance and precision don’t live in the mind.
They live in the body.
The body as a channel. A space where something closer to truth permeates the system.
I’m not saying truth doesn’t shift with perception. Why do you think you can realise something about an experience years later?
Those reflections come from space opening. From perception finally having room to breathe. From the body processing what the mind once couldn’t.
Which brings me to the jury system.
How vulnerable it is.
Who is being picked at random to decide the fate of another human when they may not have fully processed their own emotions, wounds, projections?
Unless we have the capacity to view, to empathise, to hold— from a mature, grounded place of depth and honesty, without distortion or fragmentation, how will we look at photos or video footage in the future without jumping to the fastest, most palatable conclusion?
The one that fills the KPI. The one that clears the inbox. The one that keeps the machine moving.
Will we or future humans accept face value?
This is where intuition comes in. Discernment.
Following a nudge. Questioning the footage. Investigating the story even when—especially when— everything logically adds up.
When you’re the only hand raised for not guilty.
AI or not, the human emotional experience still exists. No matter how much we try to suppress it. No matter how much we outsource our thinking.
So I’ll ask you this:
Could you live with yourself? Would you want to live with yourself?
Or are we slowly handing our power away to technology and to those who control it?
This might sound like a harsh extreme, but it feeds directly into our everyday lives.
Into how we scroll Instagram. How we compare. How we consume opinions as gospel. How we let someone else’s version of events define our reality.
We don’t know what we don’t know.
Or do we?
