This week, we're diving headfirst into a spicy convo that had our heads spinning and our eyebrows raised. Yep, we're talking Digital ID. Is it about safety and convenience, or is it a sneaky step towards total control? Spoiler: we’ve got opinions.

We chat about how "conspiracy theories" from a few years back are suddenly looking a bit less tinfoil hat and a bit more “uh-oh, this is actually happening.” With digital ID laws already in place, we unpack what this could mean for our personal freedom, privacy, and how we live our lives.

From comparisons with China's social credit system to trying to figure out how we’d even exist without social media (can we bring back fax machines?), this episode is a wild ride. There’s chat about bartering, fake IDs (for entertainment purposes only, of course), and how we can build strong, connected communities to stay resilient if things go full dystopia.

We end with a big ol’ call to action: now’s the time to get vocal, get involved, and maybe rethink how much of our lives we hand over to tech.
