🎥 You see a video of a world leader declaring war. It looks real. Sounds real. The lip-sync is perfect. But it's a #deepfake. We are entering a world where perception – our most basic source of truth – can no longer be trusted. Ancient India's Mimamsa school of philosophy debated this exact crisis 2,000 years ago. They called it pratyaksha dosha – corrupted perception. Their solution? A hierarchy of evidence where reliable testimony (shabda) could override your lying eyes. We need that today. Not just better #AI detection – but a new social contract for what counts as "proof." My new piece on The Edge of Possible – what 500 BCE India teaches us about #deepfakes, #trust, and democratic collapse.
