  • Well I think that Oculus Rift and virtual reality is sort ofthe Oculus Rift being

  • an example that virtual reality has now arrived, you know. The multiple billion dollar purchase

  • of Oculus Rift shows that now they have the resources to bring this thing into the mainstream.

  • And, of course, virtual reality like other media technologies like cinema is an engine

  • of empathy because it speeds up the capacity to achieve presence in the mediated world,

  • right. And so with a movie theater the size of the screen, the surround sound audio puts

  • you there. With the Oculus Rift potentially youre surrounded now by the media, by the

  • simulated dreamscape. So you are even more there. So when I say an agent of empathy,

  • the UN, just released a virtual reality film of a Syrian refugee camp, you know. The fact

  • that were able to put reporters now virtually on the ground it elicits a sort of experience

  • that is so much more visceral, so much more powerful, that the elusive sense of presence

  • that literally puts you in a liminal trance state. Your defenses get lowered. You forget

  • yourself. You forget your problems. You are there. You are in the moment. And so, you

  • know, the power of that as an engine of empathy I think can’t hurt humanity, you know. I

  • think it’s like they talk in the movie Interstellar our empathy rarely extends beyond our line

  • of sight. And I think with virtual reality and the Oculus Rift we now are extending our

  • line of sight by being able to go everywhere at the speed of mind.

  • And I think that’s transformational. Furthermore the psychonautic philosopher Terrence McKenna

  • says that the goal of humanity is to turn ourselves inside out, right. And he says that

  • with virtual reality the canvas for intersubjective intimacy is taken to the next level. You know,

  • before if I want to share the contents of my mind I smile and I move my lips in a certain

  • way. I make crude little grunts to convey meanings. I might make a painting, you know,

  • or I might write a poem. And the point is these are a rich tapestry of tools that human

  • beings have used for achieving something akin to telepathy, to know each other’s minds,

  • to enter the intersubjective space of one another. But with virtual reality each of

  • us potentially, the full flowering of this technology means each of us can create a universe

  • of our own construction. A universe that reflects our own archetypical spaces, you know, our

  • own iconographies. We turn ourselves inside out. You don’t just come into my room and

  • see my books to see who I am. Now you get to come inside my mind. That’s what kind

  • of blows my mind. The new spaces of intimacy that will be made possible when you can invite

  • your lover or your friend into your world. Come visit my world and you get to inhabit

  • that as a sort of cosmos of the mind.

Well I think that Oculus Rift and virtual reality is sort ofthe Oculus Rift being
