For those of you who don't want to waste 6 minutes of your life: Magic Leap CEO Rony Abovitz trying to play rockstar by starting his talk with 4 minute silly buildup music, then he comes in wearing a space suit trying to look cool and staying silent for another 1 minute trying to buildup to something even more, then just repeats the word "fudge" 15 times accompanied by shitty punk music. Essentially it's just a very long "fuck you everybody".

Wow. Do we know for certain that Magic Leap isn't KLFs new project? They have a track record:

Ringling College who is sharing the video with us, of course is an institution founded philanthropically in early Sarasota arising from earnings made by the Ringling Bros. Circus.

Long associated with Barnum & Bailey, this is the legendary traveling spectacle whose touring will soon be permanently cancelled for the first time in over 100 years.

Anyway, when it comes to Magic Leap, I don't see any way that PTBarnum would be disappointed in their profitability so far.

Without even touring or entertaining very many people at all, they've brought in enough money to start a number of colleges.
