Description

What if the truth could be edited?


In a world of AI deepfakes, fake news, and manipulated media, how do we know what's real anymore? Blend science fiction and foresight in this mind-bending episode of ThrowForward Thursday, inspired by The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.



Douglas Adams' classic story predicted today's world - crowdsourced "truths," social networks, and reality distortion fields long before they existed.



In this episode, Graeme unpacks what The Hitchhiker's Guide can teach us about:

  • - AI-generated misinformation and deepfakes
  • - The manipulation of truth in media and politics
  • - Why scepticism and curiosity are leadership superpowers
  • - How to lead with clarity when facts are contested



If you're a leader, educator, or curious thinker trying to make sense of our post-truth world, this one's for you.



What You'll Learn

  • - How Douglas Adams foresaw our information-saturated future
  • - The connection between AI, social media, and "reality distortion fields"
  • - Ways to stay sceptical without losing trust or hope
  • - How to build credibility and clarity in confusing times
  • - Why humour, humility, and courage matter in leadership today
