I'd like to strongly challenge this line from MA: "I just think that’s only true for people who live in a really interesting place in the real world. But only something like .1 percent and 1 percent of people on Earth live in a place where they wake up every morning and think, Wow, there are so many interesting things to see." I'm not really sure what he means by 'interesting', but I think it captures an arrogance we in the Silicon Valley can have about the rest of the world. Each town region has varying levels of interestingness depending on ones own depth of engagement with that community. A tourist might be more interested in the history of a place or landmarks (and in my read, this seems to be MA's working meaning of 'interesting'). But a local has many more things to be interested in and ways of participating in the community. Whether the store is open, how to walk to an unfamiliar house, etc. Whether or not AR is the right technology to help with this I do not know, but people tend to find their local environments more interesting than this gives them credit for. As a parting thought, I don't read this as a statement MA put a ton of thought into, so I actually chalk it up to imprecision rather than malice. But approaching the world with an assumption that it is not interesting is a great way to force the conclusion (if only for yourself).
