What is authenticity? Is it even something real? Is it delusion? A convincing tool for rhetoric? What systems can be trusted for authenticity? What about flaws in those systems? Do the flaws invalidate the systems or is it acceptable to accept flawed systems for an authentic basis, if any such basis even is viable? Are you authentic? If so, what systems are your basis for your authenticity? Vague answers like "evidence and repeatability" are unacceptable. Name the systems you place your full confidence in that provides you authenticity, if any.
