P&C drink and review Festifall, a Marzen lager by Southcounty Brewing, then discuss the prospect of a world without cash.
Deepfakes, fake documents, and AI-generated “evidence” are becoming harder to spot — and that might be what finally pushes governments and businesses to demand trusted digital sources. But that trust comes at a price: a digital ID system that could track who you are, what you do, and even what you buy.
In this episode, we explore:
* How fake videos and online deception could accelerate the rollout of digital IDs.
* The battle between centralized systems (government-controlled) and decentralized ones (blockchain-based).
* The alleged benefits for individuals, businesses, and governments: convenience, security, efficiency, fraud prevention.
* The hidden dangers: surveillance, data breaches, social control, and the loss of financial and personal freedom.
* Real-world examples from China’s social credit system to Canada’s Freedom Convoy—and what they reveal about where this might lead.
* Whether we’re even ready for this kind of technology—or if policymakers are racing ahead of reality.
And yes, the biblical echoes in Revelation 13: the “mark of the beast” that decides who can buy or sell.
Bottom line:
Digital ID could make life easier—or it could make freedom optional. The difference lies in how it’s built, who controls it, and whether we keep cash, privacy, and choice alive.
🎧 Listen and decide for yourself: Is the promise of security worth the price of control?
