This is a good thought, except that no technology imprints one deeply
enough to "un-see" for more that a short time, before old conceptual
habits return. If, however, immersive VR can lead to a new way of
life...and isn't this what we're talking about? Not VR as another toy, Art
Movement, or academic department; but as an alternative North.
Thus, I don't think it's a matter of how much information, but which
direction.
