Though i will push back - the capacity for such experiences is still exists. I've definitely had quite cathartic, ecstatic experiences just sitting at a beach or the prime times of day X weather where you can see and feel crepuscular rays.

I am not saying that sublime transformative experiences don't exist. I am saying the OP is a big fat liar. There is enough cool stuff in heaven and and earth to hold us in awe for eternity without resorting to lies.

I am forever trying to figure out what we want technology to be. We can use it to expand our capabilities, or to replace them, or to tell ourselves lies. VR is a good thought experiment. Can it make us more human? Are 3 dimensions really a worse use of our time than 2?

Maybe we should all skip our phones into the sea and take in the crepuscular light instead.

It’s okay to live in the lie we choose to believe πŸ˜‚πŸ«‚πŸ₯³πŸ˜œπŸ€ŸπŸ»
