VR or AR or just Real Life

My very serious opinion on what VR/AR should be used for and why...

My question concerning technology (Heidegger)

is why we need computers at all

Pickup a futbol

Read a defender

Check someone into the wall

 

If there is potent powers

in VR, well I have helped get funding to do disability research

but if there are able-bodied people

why should we waste their time.

 

When they could be outside dancing

 

when we could make poetics with WASD

just as well

 

when we are de-inventing the medium

when we could pay for 3 good massages

 

When what the point is

is there a sword

Have we fenced yet

 

sign a death waiver

is what even AYSO (soccer)

asks

 

what do we ask when we make a game

a life waiver to spend each other's time

 

or a grant to allow men in their prime

to be wasted

 

this is a poem

 

I love reality

and virtuality

and never shall the twain not meet

 

but remember

 

do not

or do

there is no try
