Meta VR prototypes aim to make VR 'indistinguishable from reality'

I don't think I underestimate the tech. People were predicting mainstream flying cars by the year 2000s

I think tech bros are way overestimating the interest of people in general. Nobody's going to train for sex or sport in VR, it lacks 90% of the experience.

People want to live real world thing, not evolve in a virtual world alone with appendices that barely mimic real life sensations.

Flying cars depends on massive capital spending on infrastructure, manufacturing to build a thing only the top 1% ile can afford. Not to mention massive changes to law. There is also a big binary chasm to cross (fly as safe an airplanve vs not)

A $300 VR headset has none of those barriers and is open to millions of developers and can constantly iterate.

Understand the difference and you'll become a better investor.

Else you are just falling for the Availability Heuristic Fallacy
