'Vladimir Nabokov once wrote that reality is one of the few words that means nothing without quotation marks. '
'In other words, manipulated video will ultimately destroy faith in our strongest remaining tether to the idea of common reality. '
'The question of deciding what constitutes reality isn’t just epistemological; it is political and would involve declaring certain deeply held beliefs specious. '
'Put differently, we’re not so far from the collapse of reality. '
