| 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. | |
| 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? |
