Voila, instant empathy! I wonder how many people could really stand themselves for any length of time?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230750.post-39341298410401996852008-10-09T15:58:00.000-07:002008-10-09T15:58:00.000-07:00Call me a raging egomaniac, but Anonymous's commen...Call me a raging egomaniac, but Anonymous's comment above makes me think of a holodeck full of duplicates of myself. I think it would be interesting: a technologically induced out of body experience. They could even be set to duplicate my actions on a varying set of time delays from milliseconds to minutes apart. It'd be like those musicians with loopstations, except probably not musical.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230750.post-11653163712550466932008-10-09T11:47:00.000-07:002008-10-09T11:47:00.000-07:00A virtual Niniane?How would this get done?
