I think that's why technology like Steem can serve as a valuable tool for this new future. We can verify, by key signature and personal representation, that the ideas being expressed are being represented from the holder of an account that you can identify with. While this only goes so far, it allows us the opportunity to exist in a world where it's not just Us that are communicating.

It makes it far more interesting if you extrapolate out to determine that we may already be existing in a form of a simulation. I often remember my grandmother talking how it was easy to believe that the government's technology is 70 years beyond what we can see. If that's the case then they've long held the tools to take us into a simulation that far exceeds what we know as reality. Question then becomes, if they have, how would you go about leaving?
