RE: NOVELTY. DOES IT REALLY "EXIST"?

It saddens me. I feel that the world around me wants to be de-humanized and trans-humanized. I don't want to live in this kind of world. I don't understand it...

Your immediate, visceral experience of living and breathing is authentic.

At somepoint we will be able to create an artificial (lucid/matrix-style) dream experience.

This will be especially therapeutic for the elderly and the disabled.

This will also undoubtedly be used as a form or entertainment for those who feel trapped in their oppressive tiny lives.

However it will not be the same as what you are feeling now.

It will be like a dream.

That's the difference.
