“One of the social media companies bought this little company called Oculus for two billion dollars.

Waaaaiiit whaaaat? Two billion for a VR company that hadn’t shipped yet? Wow, the future sounds like paradise. And what’s a social media company?

Oh, that’s a corporation people use to communicate with each other and keep personal remembrances, and there are algorithms that model the people so offers can be targeted; these companies can make people sadder or more likely to vote by tweaking the algorithms. They’re the center of a lot of people’s lives.

But, but, combining that with VR would be like a Philip K. Dick novel. Oh my, the future sounds like hell.

It’s both paradise and hell.

But bright, rebellious young people wouldn’t want to be running their lives through a corporation’s computer …

Weirdly, the new generation gap is—supposedly—that young people are more comfortable with corporations running digital society.”

Jaron Lanier in dialogue with his younger self in,
Dawn of the New Everything: Encounters with Reality and Virtual Reality

Very relevant to our present times.

(this was published 4 years ago shortly after oculus got zuckafied)

“Agnosticism maintains that it does not possess any knowledge of God or of anything metaphysical, overlooking the fact that one never possesses a metaphysical belief but is possessed by it. ”
