very cool idea, I just wonder how long before you start finding extreme
fractures within the "common" view of reality. what I mean is that by
nature we for the most part all see the same. with some variations
ofcourse. glasses, color blindness the like. but then add this to the mix
and you'd have the equivalent of millions of people all seeing what they
want, though the lenses of rose colored glasses. this is happening already.
but this whould really do it. whouldn't it? the sheep of the world
whould love it.
