Human beings announced today that they are going back into their cocoons. From now on, they will survive forever while neglecting any changes happening in the real world. They can create their own worlds, and fail as many times as they can, as they would learn or unlearn, until the day of heat death of the universe.

Perhaps one day we will come out and all become butterflies. Or perhaps we are just engulfed by our creations.

While I oppose virtual reality as a means to escape, it would be perhaps a good thing to do while humans are put inside their cyrogenic chambers for their genetic therapies. I wondered, “what are those young butterflies dreaming inside their cocoons?” This might be it! So instead of going through birth, growth and teenage, babies will be put inside their VR capsules right away while they can experiment with ‘living’ in the virtual, be transformed into post-human, and be transported to colonize outer galaxies, all at the same time!

Oh, how I love future.

A future tampered by User Experience designs forever.
