It's funny. VR is AMAZING!!!!!!!!

I mean holy shit. Have you tried it? My first thought was "this is where software development is at, all else is weak". It's like LSD vs tapwater.

But it ain't convenient. I think that's the issue.

Until we have brainchips or video contacts or something.

Considering what STEMLords are like these days, I wouldn’t expect reasonable people to trust any of that brain implant shit ever. I will certainly be teaching my kids to say no to it.

I don’t know what kind of manipulation or mind control is even actually possible with current OR future tech, but to think it wouldn’t be used to the extent possible to exert control is via a brain implant is, at best, lacking “post-nut clarity” about the so-called Information Age.
