Given the current system of ‘incident before signage’, when you see a warning label, some one has already done it. This means, the show is about to begin!

I have a rule that I will never pay more than $20 for a pair of sunglasses. And if they want to get the full $20, they better be really cool. 😎

Exploration is how we find things we didn’t know we liked. Sure, there’s a letdown, sometimes, when we reach our destination and it turns out to be now what we expected. But that’s an essential part of the human experience. Without the contrast, we might never know what we really want in life. It teaches us to temper our expectations. Without that, pleasant surprise cannot exist.

I’ll gladly take the lows if it means the highs will be all that much better. A constant flow of artificial dopamine hits, like video games and social media create, dull the senses and we become immune to its affects.

I’ve never pit VR goggles on and I don’t think I ever will. I find reality to be quite exciting, as it is. That’s precisely why I live on a sailboat. The lows can be extremely low! Which, in turn, makes the highs feel that much higher. Like the plastic bag in “American Beauty.” Nothing is interesting if you’re not interested.

I love being able to see the everyday miracles that surround us. One morning I woke up before the sun and put the red lights on. (To preserve night vision). Now, red lights completely distort any perception of color; everything is just shades of red. But when I started the cooker to make hit water for coffee, the flame, which emits its own light, the blue was so incredibly strikingly blue. In a sea of red, the blue was a perfect miracle!

The whirlwind of emotions and critical thinking it conjured almost made me cry. That, you will never find in an artificial reality! On that I guarantee!
