Hello.

Hello.

Where are you?

I'm in Davis, California.

Okay.

Okay.

I was just wondering if you could address some class issues, both in terms of this virtual reality

and consumers and in terms of nanotechnology, who exactly do you envision having access to

this?

Even in the glass.

I know precisely where you're going.

I've been through this loop many times.

You know, one of two ways is either homogenized access for everyone, that would be the Atosim

view, or you would end up with a benign dictatorship with the select few of the technical lead, where

a cybernatically enhanced would have the inner access that sort of dictates policy to the

rest of the population.

Well, which of those scenarios do you consider more likely?

That's a tough one.

And today's unfortunate, not so pleasant or positive, I mean, if you look at the kind

of dark side of the quickening, and you see social degradation plummeting the way it is,

you'd have to sort of lean towards the maybe the benevolent dictatorship only because it's

the one that might work.
