Please stop any sarcasm. There are ideas worth the consideration, as with any newly available technological tool. We're aiming in this mailing list to shape the futur of the human knowledge through the foundation, right? So it is right to talk about the future, it's not an arrogance. Of course, any affirmation about the future must be considered an hypothesis, however convinced may seem his bearer, but also however unconvinced we are. Listen and think. Then answer so that our interlocutor listens and thinks too. Otherwise, all this mailing list is sheer struggle of prestige, power or noise.
Now, one of the unsolved questions of the WMF is: how do we plan to communicate with analphabets?
Thinking that analphabets would get encyclopedic knowledge through VR shows a big misunderstanding of how the cause of analphabetism. If people are analphabets is because they lack the resource to have a proper education, so they won't get any access to a computer, much less to Internet and VR worlds.
Regards,
Yann
