Sometimes I look at app game markets and think, "Wow, humanity is burning a lot of cycles on perfecting distraction... that doesn't seem safe." Usually I just load up HN or Total War to forget about it...
We'll be left with people who preferred 'RL' experience over 'VR'. They will be the ones who reproduce, while the rest of humanity are trapped by 'VR'.
If the experience is so real, will it be possible to fall in love with the VR characters ? The shit future generations will have to deal with is amazingly complicated, at least that's one of the good parts of getting old(er) and old-school-ish.

My experience in mass-market products has taught me that when you reach a very large number of people, you are going to affect a small number of them much more strongly than you would have ever imagined. When VR goes mass market, it will be a positive force for a huge number of people and a negative one for hopefully a much smaller number. Like cars vs car crashes, we'll have to weigh the benefits based on statistics rather than possibilities.
And what's particularly interesting is that afterwards, you can really remember the whole thing. It's like it really happened and the memory is even an enjoyable one if the acting vibes were good.
What I think would be fun and wish I could try with my girlfriend would be for her to take the part of the actress and do what she does while I lied back and watched the HMD. I even volunteered for her to wear the HMD (there are videos with female POV), and >INo luck, of course. She just laughed and thought I was cray cray.
>If nothing else, it will help you hide your porn better, seeing as it will be strapped to your face. Well, they might not be able to see your porn, but you'll still leak metadata while watching it.
> leak metadata Is that a euphemism for failing to discreetly watch VR porn on the train because back in reality you're sporting a raging boner?
after legalizing gay marriage/sex, the next big hurdle will be the legality of robosexuals

Do you guys think people had this same conversation when pornographic films were first created?
