Passkeys were supposed to make the internet safer.
No passwords. No hacks. No phishing.

But what if they’re also quietly turning the internet into a human-verified system—where your device, behavior, and identity are persistently recognized every time you log in?

In this episode, we break down how passkeys actually work, why they’re being rolled out so aggressively, and how they could be laying the groundwork for digital IDs, reduced anonymity, and silent tracking across the web. From platform-level authentication to device-based identity, we explore how convenience is reshaping freedom online.

We also connect the dots to the Dead Internet Theory—a web dominated by bots, synthetic traffic, and fake engagement—where proving you’re “real” becomes more important than staying anonymous.

Are passkeys the future of online security…
or the beginning of an internet where being human means being tracked?

Watch until the end to decide for yourself.

No outline. No prep. No clear reason this conversation went where it did.

In this episode, we bounce between assisted dying in Canada and the controversy surrounding MAID, dig into what’s actually happening in Venezuela, and then completely derail into Elon Musk’s increasingly confusing physical form and whether becoming a billionaire changes you on a cellular level.

Somehow, the conversation ends up where all serious discussions eventually do: why Snickers split the King Size bar in half and whether this is shrinkflation, psychology, or a social experiment we didn’t consent to.

It’s part current events, part cultural commentary, part internet brain rot. Dark at times, funny when it shouldn’t be, and loosely held together by curiosity and caffeine. If you like conversations that feel like late-night debates with friends who refuse to stay on topic, this episode is for you.

n this week’s dive into the fringe, the Shrouded Realities team tackles one of the most polarizing "holistic" practices on the planet: Urine Therapy (or Shivambu). Is it the ultimate self-healing bio-hack hidden in plain sight, or a dangerous misunderstanding of human biology?We’re peeling back the layers on why people across cultures and centuries have turned to their own "liquid gold" for everything from skincare to systemic healing.
