Proof was supposed to confirm reality so why does it feel like reality is slowly disappearing behind it?
We built systems that can verify everything, yet they never ask the simplest question: are you still here, right now, choosing this?
If a credential lives longer than the intention behind it, what exactly are we trusting?
When a system acts on yesterday’s truth, is it still making a decision or just replaying one?
And if no one is present in the moment of action, can responsibility even exist?
Maybe the real problem isn’t false data.
Maybe it’s true data that has quietly lost its life.
