shit that sounds sad as fuck. life will never get better if you're just suck behind these googles. these people might be better off killing themselves as they're basically dead living that kind of life anyways. imaginary life that exists for no one but yourself. makes me think of someone who just wants to get high all the time because they hate themselves or their life. escape for as long and as much as you can until it takes you.
these things could be cool for general entertainment but i can totally see how they will be abused by people and organizations, think clockwork orange. or 'deprogramming' the gay out of johnny by his ultra religious parents, etc.
