>fake world Our perception of the world is already "fake". Our body has sensors that probe our exterior and provide input to our brain which attempts to create it's best picture of our surroundings. But it's a "fake world" because it is incomplete and often inaccurate. These products are simply rough versions of what will some day [2050?] be coordinated digital "brain streams" - replacing the streams from our current sensors - that create whatever reality is intended for the brain to perceive... including streams coordinated with streams going to others... so we can all be in the same virtual space with coordinated live streams replacing our sense of sight, touch, taste, smell, hearing - together with other inputs our current senses don't include ... and it will be impossible for the brain to distinguish between digital input from "natural input" But I digress... and I'm not even stoned... but I've been thinking about this exact subject since approx 1980 (although back then I insisted everything I said above would exist by the year 2000... ha!)
