When your technology can modify someone's mind's eye view, call me. I will give you all my money if it works for me.


Would you have similarly avoided or not been impressed by photography or film when they were invented? How about writing?


I am not stating I would avoid this technology, so asking me if I would avoid similar technology isn't logical. I would take no action to avoid technologies, but I would limit them if I felt they were harmful to my well being.

I do not visualize (Aphantasia), so I would be much more excited if I could both see what is going on here AND have a mind's eye, even if it were artificial.


Welcome books and songs, our parents' technology that's been stable for a while and is always built to fit users' particular needs. Spend all your money on working less and enjoying these sensibilities; wind down to give them your full undivided mind. Imagination needs cultivation and the more you use (i.e. restrict it) the sharper it gets.
