“Commentators frequently blame MMORPGs for an increasing sense of isolation in modern life. But virtual worlds are less a cause of that isolation than a response to it. Virtual worlds give back what has been scooped out of modern life. The virtual world is in important ways more authentically human than the real world. It gives us back community, a feeling of competence, and a sense of being an important person whom people depend on.”

“Paralyzed Reality (The Sonnet)
Newspaper to smartphone,
rabbit r1 to apple vision pro,
social disconnection only
changes face, nothing more.
Nobody is busy enough
to need VR while walking.
People are meant to own tech,
Yet the opposite is happening.
Every tech has its place and purpose,
How many reminders are enough reminder!
First you buried your head in your phone,
Now you walk around as donkeys with blinker.
Companies are not to blame,
Real culprit is consumer idiocy.
In a world of unawareness,
VR and AR make paralyzed reality.”
― Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets
