Anyone else thinking about “A Clockwork Orange”? The potential to use this technology and future iterations to manipulate people is staggering. Put these glasses (and a new Musk ‘brain chip’) on any criminal defendant and you can read them like a book. And we won’t stop at ‘reading’ people – eventually the technology will be critical in education (or re-education) and social credit scoring. I’ll bet the developers of the ‘implicit bias’ tests will also find a way to make them into ‘racist detectors’. But let’s not think about that – let’s just focus on how awesome the virtual reality games will be.

Your last point, reality games, is the lead-in to hook the younger generations so they’re more amenable.

Although in my 60s, i’m planning on living another 30 years or so. Wtf the world will look like in 2050 will be, in equal measure, fascinating and excruciating. Again, in equal measure, i feel both privileged and distraught at living through this period in human history.

Sick Sick People make this new world

Corinthians 13, KJV

13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

There is no charity in these things – no humanity.

To me the key benefit will be the ability to take a 13″ Macbook, throw away the 13″ display, and allow the user to see a virtual 30″ display.
