Season 1. Episode 2. Is this real life? - a podcast by Seattle Melancholy

As tech seduces us to explore new realities by putting blind folds of VR headsets on our eyes, Felix and Aleksey have nothing else to do but advance their unquenched quest for truth, illumination and half-drunk smart-assesness. What is real life if not a simulation? What are products if not gifts from heaven? How does one construct reality? And is VR and MR an illusion of it or reality itself? #WhatBlackPanterMeansToMe? Why men should wear lipstick? Why are we even discussing this? As our industry keeps unabashedly denying any critical thought to the products it is producing - this short (we managed to keep it less than an hour) talk dives deeper into the cultural underpinning of the ARs, MRs, and VRs. References with no referents. Immerse yourself in new reality. And yes, we changed the name of this talk after we published it. Just because we can.
