Hi Dakotah,
I am a moderator and I agree with you. I think that while the subject
was interesting we have gotten so far off the topic that we should
close down the topic here. I don't see anything really new about V.R.

I'm on the other side of that opinion, Yohandy. I'm convinced its
just as simple as practice, and that there's not really any other
factors involved.
Nicely put! That's what I was actually getting at. if this alternate reality

There is an argument that those who have been blind for the

Hi Dark,
Oh, don't get me started. I hate the so called blind privileged
experience argument. That's a load of crap circulated by people who
have never been sighted, who think their experience is superior to
everyone else, and argue essentially from ignorance. Especially, when
