Thanks, Ram, a great read. Unlike the majority of articles with VR in the title, this one had some intriguing perspectives on meat-space. I started thinking of various ruins as obsolete platforms, and how they ended up that way...which is a healthy meditation, IME
“I sometimes marvel at how far I’ve come - blissful, even, in the knowledge that I am slowly becoming a well-evolved human being - only to have the illusion shattered by an episode of bad behaviour that contradicts the new and reinforces the old. At these junctures of self-reflection, I ask the question: “are all my years of hard work unraveling before my eyes, or am I just having an episode?” For the sake of personal growth and the pursuit of equanimity, I choose the latter and accept that, on this journey of evolution, I may not encounter just one bad day, but a group of many.”
