Have you seen Surrogates? How about Avatar?
You know I've been in Hollywood.

Avatar is a Veldt world. Minus the interface. But since they know about
my virtual Veldt, they were not thinking of holographic Veldts they were
thinking the only way to solve the pario problem is with an interface
like you see in Surrogates and Avatar. But that puts you in a kind of
physical stasis. We won't be going down that road since its not
necessary. You can put all that in a sheer bodysuit if you only need
some sensory clues that you are being touched.
Maybe some people want to have a setup that mimics the 5 senses so that
they can totally bridge the reality gap. Maybe they will. The message in
Surrogates is that there is a world outside that we can program too if
we really wanted to.

Are we taking the easy way out? Well maybe. Is that human nature to do
that? If its easier cheaper and better, you shouldn't be surprised if
people do that. If the movers and shakers of the world are not working
towards a better world and they are not, then the people will invent one
themselves.

That's all I can write today but you have a lot of furry stuff to think
about now. You might have problems with hair on them some day after all.
I didn't mention my brother Stephen who is with Gwendolyn constantly
because I didn't let him play in our Veldt although people still got to
know him in Hollywood. But he said to me one day, you think you have
problems? I have problems without any hair on them, and I thought that
was very funny under the circumstances.

When the world is your oyster you better like oysters. And the world
will be your oyster.

Hows about a good Stevie Ray tune back from the dead to entertain you
with another dead guy, that we loved dearly and miss them both.
Something else to consider is bringing back your loved ones through AI.

But not today. Today Stevie Ray is going to close out this segment with
one of his good rockin tunes accompanied by Jeff Healey.
