Right, we're all required to use these devices instead of solving world hunger. And we're all capable of curing diseases. It's all a zero-sum game where you have to be spending all of your time on a noble cause, or you're DUM (I'm not sure what that stands for since dumb is spelled dumb? Are you trying to say this is dumb, and both spelling it wrong and capitalizing it incorrectly?)

Scientists never use VR or play video games. Mathematicians don't play games. I bet the whole Space X team has never played Mario. A VR/AR system has no application in math or science or biology at all, none.

You, clearly, aren't wasting your time on a website about rumors, reading about a VR device, and then commenting on it. You've dedicated all your free time to doing active things, not sitting on your ass, reading this website, and sitting on your ass commenting on it. You're out there, making a difference.

Let's all become biologists, mathematicians and scientists, none of us should start a company, be a CEO, work in a factory, own a restaurant, paint houses.
Maybe a little bit snarky but the main point is right on.

Besides, science has solved as much as it can of the world hunger problem. The world produces enough food to feed everyone, at least right now. The problem is economic and political, not scientific or production. If you are poor you can’t afford to buy enough food, or if you are a minority, religious, ethnic or otherwise you may not have access to food. But right now there is enough food, although our production rate may be unsustainable to keep it that way.
 
It is a shame that Oculus, now owned by Facebook, is shifting to require an active Facebook account to even use the device. Automatically rules it out as an option I’m willing to consider, unfortunately.
Yes, but I look at this way, Nest owned by Google, home products and have information, Google Gmail scans threw your email to see what you like, that is why it is free. Zoom collects information on you. And a bunch of other companies that people use every day have even more information. Redit has a bunch of information on you. Think it is interesting how people pick on Facebook when there are a bunch of other tech companies and people using technology everyday that don't say oh my god.

Do I really care no, I am not Bill Gates, Oprah, Elon Musk. People go out everyday on many social media platforms and spew all there personal information about what they are doing ever second of their lives.

But people pour money into bit coin when there is no physical backing of the digital currency and when things drop and everything drops at some time, people loose tons of money. As the famous Showmen P.T. Barnum once said, quote "There is a sucker born every minute, and two to take them"
