We now expect that after all our continuing of the race through sex and our contributing to humanity through work is really over, we will have another 30 years to go on living. We can no longer overlook that. It has become part of the definition of what it is to be human. I don't think we have begun to manage that. I guess I can only say . .
Simulated reality is another form of sacramental life and it's growing in importance.
It's getting to be more important that real life. We call them couch potatoes and we laugh at it.

Real reality may be no more than preparing your meals everyday or whatever. I do with a certain fear.
