I had more hope for humanity. | ||
I really did. | ||
I remember when I was seeing photos, actually it was one particular photo, it was of Mark | ||
Zuckerberg. | ||
He was testing VR glasses. | ||
I don't know if it was at some conference. | ||
And this was the photo. | ||
Let me just show it to you. | ||
I thought, this looks like a dystopian nightmare. | ||
The way that he's smiling, he always looks evil. | ||
There's something about him that he just looks like he's going to turn into an alien. | ||
His skin is just going to fall off. | ||
And then all of these people that look like slaves, he's like, yes, this is the slave culture that I want going forward. | ||
Technology will enslave the masses. | ||
So evil! | ||
But he wasn't the first person that predicted this. | ||
No, I think that he might have just been the visionary that said, can we make this real? | ||
Of course, it's always The Simpsons. | ||
I don't know how it happens. | ||
There's a conspiracy theory that the people who wrote The Simpsons are from the future because everything that they wrote that was so obscure at the time has somehow become true. | ||
They notoriously had Donald Trump coming down an escalator decades ago, announcing his run for president. | ||
And then he came down an escalator and announced his run for president. | ||
And yes, they also had a vision regarding these VR glasses. | ||
Take a look. | ||
That just can't happen, except it is happening. | ||
Here is a person presumably commuting to work the other day on the subway. | ||
unidentified
|
I gotta say, that guy, confidence. | |
I'm not confident enough to look that crazy. | ||
And we had covered, actually, the VR glasses. | ||
I talked about how strange it was. | ||
I tried them just once, and it was terrifying because it did seem like it was reality. | ||
I was afraid to jump off of this fake elevator, even though, obviously, I knew I was safe. | ||
in reality, in my real world, I did not want to jump. | ||
I refused to do it because I sensed that the doom was the fake reality that was being created | ||
by the VR goggles. | ||
Again, very dystopian to think that people will begin to pick this up. | ||
We are becoming enslaved by our technology. | ||
There's no question about it. | ||
I guess the bigger question would just be who's benefiting from that enslavement, right? | ||
I'm hoping that this brave person on the subway is not going to be the average person and | ||
that we aren't going to see the majority of people that are commuting and walking with | ||
their VR glasses. | ||
I'm hoping that we can return to some sort of sanity, which means that it's incumbent upon us parents to not allow our children to experiment with this sort of technology. | ||
But also, I do want to remind you guys that shame works. | ||
Look at people, laugh at them, and be like, what on earth are you doing? |
