If you want evidence of just how cynical and paranoid people are these days, show them a photo of anything remarkable. Anything at all, from a very beautiful woman to an impressive sports moment to a strange pose in a candid snapshot. Then watch how many folks instantly declare the picture a photoshopped fake, and offer all sorts of reasons why it must be. I consider this sort of rampant skepticism a form of natural selection. Once people have lost the ability to believe even what they see with their own eyes, they become easy prey for any number of very real dangers in the world, and thus increase the prospects of survival for those of us still able to accept that sometimes unusual, insane, and amazing things actually do happen around us everyday.
