Intriguing little bit of poetry here. But this I don’t quite understand: “It shows us a time when entering a virtual world required a gizmo. That’s the past, not the future.” In what sense is entering a virtual world without a “gizmo” a present or future reality? Are they talking about imagination, with “virtual” used in an unusual (from a tech perspective) way?
- bryan0 3y agoyeah this also confused me. sounds like he's talking about meditation and psychedelics.
- throw74775 3y agoA lot of postmodern thought results in the formation of cults, in which people occupy a virtual world inside their own minds.
- Apocryphon 3y agoHow about a metamodernist cult instead- what if the future is a gizmo-mind hybrid? That’s right, I’m talking about the Neuralink.
