Not really. We don’t have to live in a society where every idea is used to extract wealth or exert power over others… We just happen to live in such a society
Yeah but what if instead we didn’t react like that and looked forward towards making a world where that tech is fine because no one is trying to crush others to fulfill a misapplied survival instinct.
Perception filters? Absolutely they could be used for good… Being able to put window dressings on your reality is basically the AR version of deep dive VR
That episode fucked with me for a long time. She wasn’t his daughter, but he had no way to know. They took away his ability to see and tell right from wrong.

Hey! Good luck!
No luck involved, just dedication to humanity :) but Thank you
