Cryonics and Virtual Reality

from Tell Me What You Know Hosted by Borderline Media Company, Michael Brown, Michael Peloquin

On today’s episode of TMWYK, we ponder death and what comes after. Maybe you’ve thought about what you want done with your body once you pass to the other side. Perhaps cremation, or a classic six-feet-under situation. How about cryonics? That’s what we’re talking about today. Freeze yourself in time and cross your fingers that science advances enough to reanimate you at some point in the future. And then, we’re taking the red pill and venturing down the rabbit hole into virtual reality. The dream of putting ourselves into a computer program has been around a long time. Early devices that mimicked depth were made as far back as the 1830’s. Fastforward to today and we’re using computers and headsets the size of ski goggles to make all your wildest dreams, and I’m sure fantasies, come true. Pinch yourself. This is not a simulation.

On this episode we take you into the crazy world of cryonics. Freeze yourself with the hopes that one day you'll be able to reanimated and brought back to life to live forever. Then, we're discussing virtual reality, the new technology that transports you to a "virtual" or simulated reality. If we have the ability to create a realistic world that fools the viewer then odds are high that you're currently in a simulation. Don't worry. We keep it real.
