Brilliant, yet again. I adore how wonderfully you weave in the ridiculous paradoxes of us giant apes.
Side note... A friend recently sent me a link to a music notation app/software. And okay, I've seen plenty of musicians in the orchestra pit using iPads to play from (with a handy foot pedal to 'turn the pages'). Handy. (or footy...)
But then, upon scrolling all the way down their webpage, I noticed that they also make a version of their software for the Apple Vision thingy. My brain went into imagining an entire symphony with those damn things on, and I couldn't handle the dystopic vision, so I closed the computer with, 'well, that's enough internet for the day'...
“What is it about reality that requires enhancement?” If I were independently wealthy I’d rent all the billboards in Silicon Valley and put this one sentence up on all of them. Your articles are my weekly escape from realty. It would be a very interesting experiment to tell people that a new kind of headset had been invented that when you put it on reveals the miracle of creation hidden in the ordinary world. They would put it on, but the screen would only project your actual environment exactly as it is. Then we’d see how people described their experience of augmented (actually unenhanced) reality.
…a local reality called hike presented by a product called legs…
hahahaha excellent read
