Why does it feel like everything is fake now?We put on different masks for work, friends, family and social media. Instagram turned everyday life into a highlight reel, influencers started pretending they’re living lifestyles they can’t afford, and now AI is making it harder to tell what’s actually real.Justin goes down another Thoughts Off The Stem rabbit hole about fake lifestyles, rented Lamborghinis, AI slop, fake podcast clips, social media, misinformation and the weird stuff we’re willing to believe online.But underneath all of that is a simpler question: where’s the honesty?Justin talks about a lesson his dad taught him as a kid after he broke a window and tried to lie about it, why failure is part of actually succeeding, and why he tries to keep Thoughts Off The Stem as one place where you get an honest thought instead of another polished version of reality.Maybe we don’t need everything to look perfect. Maybe we just need people to be honest about what is actually going on.Join the sesh.
