Bring up originals

Be authentic.

We bring our kids up to be fake, pale versions of others.

Why can’t you be more like him ?
Your voice is not forceful or deep enough
You must dress to impress
You must change in order to try to fit in
Change your cv to be more like what they want
Shake hands harder
Drop that accent
Go to that school or university.

Where are the lessons to be authentic, learning to be who you are or charting your own course ?

The winners in the world are not clones or weak copies of others. Those are the real deep fakes of the world. The counterfeits and knockoffs of the world are lost as they search for the next big thing to emulate.
