>Pixar Animation co-founder Ed Catmull has warned that virtual reality technology may not be the revolution in storytelling that some of its evangelists have claimed.
>“It’s not storytelling. People have been trying to do [virtual reality] storytelling for 40 years. They haven’t succeeded. Why is that? Because we know that if they succeed then people would jump on it.”
Is it jsut me, or is offhand rejection of current events / technology absolutely a sign of degeneracy and small mindedness? Too many vested interests. The upper classes will be wanking over themselves for reading the greeks for the next 200 years to be quite honesto mi familia.
Before anything else, you ought to know that the theory of social degeneration is deeply flawed and have pretty much been abandoned in all fields of the social sciences for well over a hundred years, for several reasons; these days it's because there's so many sub-cultures popping up everywhere, more than ever before, so it's just plain false to claim civilization is degenerating.
You may want to check up on the wikipedia article. Talking about degeneration is like talking about lamarckism instead of darwinism on /sci/.

You need to specify if you mean small-mindedness among the person in question, the group he belongs at, or the society at large.

Here is the only story I need for the purposes of my VR use: She is my waifu and loves me dearly.
Now piss off, Ed.

This being said on a board where video as a form of education on history and philosophy is instantly dismissed in favor of books? Hosted on a website where homosexuality and transsexuality are instantly dismissed as mental illnesses?
I mean, I agree, but this is the wrong place to talk about it. 4chan is backwards as fuck.

Fairly sure /lgbt/ doesn't consider faggots and trannies as having mental illnesses.

Seriously.
When I read people use terms like "decadence" and "degeneracy" on here referring to events like the fall of the Western Roman Empire I just chuckle since the terms have fallen long out of use.

do you think there's a relationship between how decadent and degenerate a society is and the popularity of those terms?

Except there are up to five distinct theories of evolution as proposed by Darwin, and Mayr was already criticising Darwinist believes. Also, Darwin borrowed a lot from Lamarck to write the Origin of the Species and Descent of Man.

For trannies yes.
Trannies are like in this unofficial separate zone compared with the rest.

Fairly sure /lgbt/ doesnt represent the vast majority of the website.
The high traffic boards are all neo-conservative right wing /pol/tards.

which /v/, /a/ and /b/ are not.
you're in a website for crossdressing weeaboo nerds, dragon sex toys and dank memes.
