Title.
Think about it, brocels. Right now, we see a shitton of instances of modern sociopolitical terms, concepts, and so on, being forcibly inserted onto the past. For example, the way a lot of fiction tries to paint whatever protagonists they are following as champions of gender/racial equality, since that's what's considered "good" in the 21st century, even if it's, say, some 13th century nobleman who, realistically, would've probably thought that the serfs serving him are equivalent to livestock.
Or the entire campaign of LGBT activists trying to pretend that trannyism was in any way a reality before a bunch of confused Westerners came up with it in the last century, which is mostly done by cherrypicking instances from the few, mutually unrelated cultures where weak men were relegated into a second-class status under other men (even though it basically never went other way, suifuel for FtMs lol
, and that those guys weren't considered women in any capacity, they were just inferior men.)
Now, my theory is:
VR/Metaverse is pretty much already here. It's barely an infant, but it's here. People are going to continue the historical revisionism shit I mentioned above in the future as well, no doubt about it. There's also bound to be people and movements trying to regulate and/or ban VR for whatever reason.
So, taking all of those factors into account, there's a pretty good chance that any and all future effort to ban VR will just be countered by people pretending that, in some sense, VR has always been around, with maladaptive daydreaming being the primitive way of using a simulated reality to cope with the real one.
Same with schizophrenia. There's a pretty good chance that people in the future will pretend that this illness was effectively just a faulty AR/VR, and since people now are living with it, then they, in the future, can also live with Augmented/Virtual Reality no matter what ill effects it might have on the society and individuals there.
Thoughts?
