    Sometimes I wonder whether Virtual Reality has gotten so good that we’ve lost all urge to invent the actual reality that it imitates.

        Can we invent a reality where our president values scientific evidence and critical thinking?

        I’ve seen enough evidence to believe anything is possible. Enough people walking the same direction.

        I actually moved from being a 3d modeler into doing concrete sculpture for playgrounds. Virtual Reality doesn't replace those tactile experiences that some of us crave.pic.twitter.com/t3qPS3878i

        But isn’t a replica of an elephant just a virtual form of an actual elephant? Proving his point.

        I was and assumed he was referring to this definition of virtual: not physically existing as such but made by software to appear to do so."a virtual computer" You are correct according to other definitions of virtual, which I guess should be clarified for the sake of argument.
