    Here is my question for you: If a VR installation of this type would make you FORGET YOU OWN EXISTENCE at the very moment you look into it - what would happen? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TlrM1P5pkM&feature=youtu.be …https://twitter.com/hosei_halim/status/1049627772153470977 …

        One hypothesis: nothing. I put an 80% probability on this. It is like experiencing flow. In a state of flow I completely forget myself, but then the environment shifts and I become self-aware again. This assumes the environment will shift of course.
