Virtually Real Inner Peace
from the oh,-come-on dept
These people have got to be kidding. I remember those silly "meditation" tapes they used to sell in mall bookstores (do they still sell those things?) that promised to bring you inner peace or the ability to lose weight or get over shyness or whatever based on subliminal messages. Now, some researchers are claiming the latest version of such junk: virtual reality inner peace. Hmm, let's take two ideas that never really lived up to their hype (subliminal self-help and virtual reality) and throw them together. Wasn't there an Ahh-nold movie about these virtual vacations?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
