Other tricks to infer cognitive state involved quickly flashing visuals or sounds to a user in ways they may not perceive, and then measuring their reaction to it.

    First though, I was only referring to the hands free visuals part of the inversion of “hands free orgasms and closed eye visuals” new religious movement idea in response to the failure of early linger cursor technologies. The big thing was freeing your hands from feeding your eyes more information.

    Did religious people really think that hands free scrolling was satanic? Incredible lmao.

    Re: porn, impact on our lives has more to do with accessibility as opposed to intensity or immersiveness of experience

    I'm just worried that if accessibility and immersion were to be combined, it would have a pretty massive effect on society. It's mainly because I tried a really terrible version of the VR stuff a while ago, and even though the image quality was terrible, I could see how easily it could screw up someone's life. It might be one of the very few things Joe Rogan is right about. I hate to mention him, but I can't really think of anyone in the mainstream that talks about it, aside from crazy religious freaks that think anything is satanic.

      No, that was a joke about how hands free scrolling is the “dream” for a next generation user interface just like how for a specific kind of transcendental meditation set “closed eye visuals and hands free orgasms” is the dream.

      I don’t think technology that deepens the experience of pornography is what drives young men away from meaningful relationships. Fundamentally, the relationships aren’t there or aren’t achievable and so they might turn to parasocial ones or escapism, but there’s no precedent for porn driving men away from the family.

      I have trouble accepting that young men would even accept that situation since now there’s a whole swath of movements and aesthetics that reflect a desire to in fact recreate the family pornography would be pushing them away from.

      What’s destroying the family is the shredding of our social fabric as living conditions decline. Pornography isn’t causing that or adding to the problem.

      When I move into a pod hotel to live with my wife hatsune miku it won’t be because my real wife and house and kids and job and life can’t compare, it’ll be because there isn’t enough of a future on offer to resist the mirror.
