in like this virtual reality, three-dimensional panorama, but you see it from the point of view of everybody else, right?
So if you were mean to someone, if you stabbed someone, or in Daniel's case, he was in special forces in Vietnam and he actually killed people.
He said he had to experience what it was like
to get the bullet, and then more than that, experience what happened after that guy died, his wife, the guy who died, his wife and children, what kind of suffering they experienced.
So it's like you're reviewing, like after a football game, right, or after a match.
You might sit there and review on the screen what happened.
Except this screen is like fully immersive, the best VR you could ever have.
It's like you're reliving the moment.
So a couple years ago, I was involved with a startup in Silicon Valley, and we took a game like League of Legends.
You've probably heard of League of Legends, like the most popular, at least it was, esports game, right?
And you've got all these guys on a field, but pretty much you play on a 2D screen.
So we made it so you could replay the game, but you would put on a virtual reality headset and it would seem like you were on, you know, on the field in League of Legends and you could replay from any point of view.
Same with Counter-Strike Global Offensive was the one that, you know, I was thinking of because in that game, it's a first person shooter.
So you're like shooting people.
And so literally you could go back and replay that game from the point of view of the person you shot, right?
And so when I was experiencing this, it was reminding me of all these things these near-death experiencers have been telling us about this life review.
And as an engineer and computer scientist, my question is always, well, how does that work?
I mean, if you could replay every single moment in your life, even the moments when you weren't there, including, like, what happened to this guy's wife and what happened to their children, somebody has to record all that stuff.
Because how are you going to replay it if it's not being recorded?
