He was struck by lightning back in the 70s.

And he had a near-death experience.

He wrote a book called Saved by the Light.

Interesting guy, but he used to be in the military and he used to shoot people.

And he said, I had a life review, which was like a holographic panoramic replaying of everything in my life.

But from the point of view of other people, and he used to like beat up kids when he was in school.

He had experienced what it was like to be beat up by himself.

He's like, oh, that's what it felt like.

Man, I shouldn't have done that.

And then he had to experience what it was like to be shot by himself.

And then he had to see the ripple effects on that guy's family, the guys he shot, let's say in Vietnam or someplace when he was in the military.

And it gave him a different perspective in how he treats people.

And so I looked at that and I said, you know, that is something we do in video games.

We can replay the entire video game and we can replay it from any XYZ coordinate.

And so there's a game called CSGO, Counter-Strike Global Offensive, which is a first person shooter.

It takes place in, I don't know, the desert Iraq somewhere.

And I was involved with a startup right here, actually not far from here, Cupertino, where you would put on a virtual reality helmet and you would replay the CSGO session, the game that had been played, but you would see it from any XYZ coordinates so you could wander around.

You could literally see what it was like to shoot yourself.

And I thought, oh, that's interesting.

That's kind of like what these people have been describing.
