What if we never had to look away from our screens? What if we could spend every waking hour locked into the digital world as far away from the physical as possible? Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, meet the Apple Vision pro.
Over the past few weeks, I've seen a lot of reviews from people excited about the Apple Vision Pro, and while it's certainly an amazing piece of tech, I thought I'd share a different perspective, one of caution that paints of tale of what could be if this technology is not used well.

I’ll come back to this video in a few years and see how much damage has been done
Download it. Might not exist then.
Then watch it with a vision
For that price? Not much.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone!
it'll be the kids of today, and next generation. Come back in 20 years and you WILL see significant damage.
Being bored was the best days in our life
Thats actually true. I miss the feeling of being truly bored, like doing absolutely nothing. I don't even remember the last time i've been bored and just do nothing. Today you will automatically start scrolling a phone, or be on your computer etc when you become bored, and just waste your time completely.
Apple Vision Pro and overstimulation of brains somehow freaks me out a little, it's interesting to see how popular Vr systems will become now, as Apple did this. Other companies tend to follow Apple's path
The worst feelin i ever had was being bored so i disagree
@@jukke96I miss it too. It gave me a sort of mission: to find a way to entertain myself. Which would allow me to come up with cool ways to entertain myself. Which my even include loading up MC if I was enjoying it at that time
Definitely
@@wawaxkalee88All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.
Boredom is a mystery to me. And the opening lines of this video are quite revealing. We hate being bored because, when we are, we become introspective? Is this what everybody is trying to avoid? Thinking about themselves and their lives and their problems? No wonder we are all such a mess! Avoiding so-called boredom is causing us to lose ourselves. Thinking about ourselves and our lives is a vital human function.
agreed. i regularly take 1 day a week of no phone. i just go to nature, and reflect. the amount of peace you get is fkin insane. people say im crazy 😂. you guys should try it.
It is the state that can be used for reflection, inner searching, growth or pleasure of some kind. Applied reading requires solitude, as well as contemplation of the beauty of nature, as well as thinking and creativity. Solitude suggests the peace that comes from a state of inner wealth. It's a way to enjoy the calm that satisfies us and from which we draw our energy. It's something we cultivate. Solitude refreshes you, it is an opportunity to renew ourselves. In other words, it enriches us. Loneliness, on the contrary, is harsh, a punishment, a state of lack and dissatisfaction marked by the sense of alienation, the consciousness of excessive loneliness. Loneliness is something you choose. Loneliness is imposed on you by others. Solitude restores body and soul. Loneliness devastates them. From the outside, solitude and loneliness look alike.
Boring people get bored. 100% agree with you on all other points.
Yeah a lot of what was said in this video is so so off. Or reveals super shortsightedness in living life. Brutal. Disliked.
Great comments, could not agree more. I'm 53...and I've hardly ever been bored. When I do feel I might be getting bored, it's when I'm most creative and imaginative, and I find something to do. As an only child, sometimes you had to keep yourself entertained and not rely on someone else (pre-PC/Internet). To me, boredom is just a lack of imagination...
Is this a generational thing, along with other prevalent symptoms in today's societies?
I am 25 & do not have TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Tinder, etc.
All i have is Facebook & UA-cam,
and it has been the HARDEST addiction to curb. I can't stop!
I'm 2 months sober from a weed addiction after 5 years numbing the PTSD,
rarely consume processed sugar, coffee, or alcohol.
Never consume nicotine or tobacco.
Sold the Xbox 4 years ago and haven't had a TV since
See how much I've quit and how far I've gone?
I STILL can't seem to free myself of the phone's grip but just 2 of its apps.
Now just to imagine a VR headset that can detect what i am likely to watch by my inner chemistry, and lead me down the rabbit hole of, say, politics.. or p0rn...
So to see this be released in a culture where everyone pridefully has an addiction to everything listed above, dystopia...
Our world is falling apart,
our governments are corrupt without morality,
& we are further distracting ourselves from reality.
The human experience is the movie Ready Player One.
The exterior experience is WALL-E
estoy de acuerdo contido
Jesus can set you free
Yes i agree alah is great, ash alah brother @@lukespatola1184
Yeah its fucking absurd how much closer we are getting to Ready Player One, just recently rewatched it and it surprised me so much. Also at 9:00 reminded me so much of 1984, truly dystopian.
you deserve 5b subs
Child trying to interact with dad he can’t even see his face is the saddest thing I’ve seen in a while
truely
100% But that,s what they want,for people to live in a false phoney world
I hear you. Why this obnoxious child bothers his dad. Children are such a nuisance.
the new generations of this tech will upgrade this obviously. It will eventually become the size of a contact lens
Apple really messed up when they showed that scene in the Ad. That will happen and kids will feel not valued
Boredom is a prerequisite to creativity. A mind that is continually being fed something without having to do any heavy lifting, becomes soft and flabby.
I'd say just before, at the point when you feel you're getting bored you become creative, essentially to give yourself something to do! Maybe that's because I am a single child?
Someone gets it.
Fatass mind…concept.
Absolutely true. There is also the saying that “idle hands are the devils play things” where bored people tend to get into trouble, and that is also true so it’s a double edged sword. 🗡️🗡️
Unfortunately, for some it (boredom) is also a gateway to drugs, or getting into various other forms of trouble. Whenever I get bored, which fortunately or unfortunately (depending on your perspective) is very rare, I almost always feel like having a beer, in spite of having quit over 20 years ago. I agree with you that , when I was younger, boredom could lead to creativity, but now that I’m older and more aware of bad options, I consider it a toxic state to avoid as much as possible.
Constant distraction isn't a "cure" for depression, much like constantly ignoring a problem isn't solving it. If anything, it allows it to persist.
As a kid with depression, I distracted myself a lot with video games, music and other forms of escapism. They helped me cope esp. back in the '90s and 2000s when there was a lot of misconceptions and stigma around mental health here in the PH. But I never really got better till I got actual treatment and proper support.
Boredom is a luxury now.
it's a choice, a utility that depends on you to be initiated, just like how your phone depends on you to be used. Despite how rarely people seem to do it, thinking about your situation in life and etc is a requirement, one which people seem to often neglect.
However its a luxury most people CAN afford
Considering mankind still hasn’t mastered 1/1 communication and cooperation bringing AI into the equation to learn and simulate our probable moves is terrifying.
People nowadays are not bored enough
Agreed
There's no such thing as a state of perpetual enjoyment. Studies have shown the more input we consume, videos, podcasts, music, movies, games etc, the more we need to keep our attention.
You've probably experienced it yourself flicking through your 300th youtube short completely numb to it, just mindless input. This device will wring the last drops of dopamine from our minds and leave us depleted, no real rewards or achievements, no real memories. We've hijacked pleasure centres and plundered them to our detriment.
No, actually. I think this is a generational thing...sorry about all this tech addictive btw if only we'd known it would turn out this way.
💯
Being bored is great. It leads to creativity, making new ideas, solutions to problems and motivating us to do things like hobbies. Why is it being normalised that being bored is a bad thing?
Boredom isn't great. You can't escape boredom at things like work, and most of us have to spend most of our waking hours working, and it goes on for hours on end. It is torture. If you want to experience supreme boredom, work for a corporation. Humans were never meant to live in a world that is so boring, which is what the modern world has become.
@@grasshopper1153 That's not purely boredom with the corporation job, that's unhappiness with your career choice. There are much better jobs than corporation that can still earn you just as much money but still be enjoyable. The modern world also isn't boring if you know what you're doing. Meditation, gardening, connecting with nature and other hobbies can be beneficial. Depression and other mental health issues can make it SEEM boring. Believe me I had depression and anxiety but once I managed the symptoms and relieved myself of those issues, work and modern living isn't that bad after all.
@@grasshopper1153 that's a you problem my friend. Sure there are miserable jobs. I can't argue that. But the point the op was trying to make is that boredom is depriving our mind from distraction and stimulation for a while. Put away your phone and just stare at a wall for 10 minutes. In that 10 minutes you will probably came up with more ideas and thoughts then that you would have in the whole day scrolling through your phone
I feel so sorry for people who need these. I never get bored. I think I solved my boredom being an only child. I like being creative and have artsy hobbies and gaming. If those are uninteresting I do something productive.
Make the real world a better place to live.
Dont escape to la la land.
Amen
I just tried the Vision Pro in a store today and don’t get me wrong it’s an amazing technological feat and a wonderful product that does what it’s supposed to well, it’s also definitely completely undoubtedly going to come with a pleathra of other unintended dark future realities. A wave of almost like sadness and a little bit of fear (and of course not to be dramatic but I don’t know how else to describe it) washed over me for a second when it got to the part of the tour where I started watching the 3D videos that didn’t quite look real but also felt so real like I was watching someone else’s memories, yet not quite really being there…..imagine if it was like a lost loved one laughing for the last time and you could just sit there watching it over and over because it’s the last thing you had of them….its so wild, and so many terrifying things could come from it. I highly recommend the series black mirror every year that show is becoming more like a non-fiction series.
People aren't bored, they're boring. Social media has destroyed people's ability to imagine, so they're boring.
It reminds me of the wife in Fahrenheit 451- All the walls were screens
boredom is an affliction of the ego. detach from the ego and be one with your true spiritual self, to enjoy the inherent peace and contentment of the present moment.
"just detach bro" lol if only it were that easy
@@user-et4fr9tl6t The ego and the true self are not synonymous, meditation can show you this.
It sounds loopy and nonsensical no until you experience it for yourself.
Chill with the watered down, half ass, western versions of eastern philosophy, it's not deep, it's merely an attempt to make people think it's deep. It's just some rehashed, half ass 19th century syncretisms. Study something real like science.
@@newuser689it’s deceptively easy to do, most people have multiple layers of illusion to break down before it’s possible. If you believe you ARE your mind, then you are asking the tool to work the craftsman.
10:54 60% of adults are bored at least once a week? So 40% of adults are never bored? I find that hard to believe.
Do you know poverty?
40% are board twice or more per week.
40% bored once fortnightly
I'm 31 And I never get bored. Go out, hang with friends, read, watch UA-cam, go to work, try something new, I can go on and on. Being bored is a mindset and perspective
Hobbies prevent boredom!! Trying and learning something new prevents boredom and gets us excited and motivated. No one is judging or watching you, so enjoy trying something you never tried before!!!!!
I see an Aperture video, I click without hesitation! 😅
This product is straight out of Black Mirror
Let's try to embrace bordom.
Let’s not. I hate being bored.
One last thing... I think my phone as my personal tv, or computer, but! Time to time, I wanna spend less and less time with it. I love tech, but there's lines I don't cross...
A lot of folks forget the rural living experience many Americans are in. Wifi and cell service are NOT guaranteed where we live. We've gone as long as a month without either due to service issues. As bad as it can suck, I also believe it's benefitted my children. If it's unavailable, you are left to your own thoughts and hobbies. Being bored as a kid is probably one of the main contributing factors that lead to my imagination growing; I'd miss it if I didn't have it to rely on to keep me entertained. Somehow being the writer, actor, and director of my own inner stories still beats watching something.
Nope. Not for me...
AI has watched the movie Matrix. They know about putting humans in pods.
Ain’t gonna happen
@@lucasread1743can you back this statement with reason
I would not put you in a pod. You are already in one.
I have never owned an apple and have terrible vertigo so i'm soo thankful for that. This is the creepiest tech i have ever seen. Wow!
Perhaps we are playing this very advanced holographic VR reality game right now??? Simulacra …. Living in the future while playing a game set in the past
A game? Or a cia experiment of ritualistic abuse?
Yes look into NDE’s. This reality is not real but it’s not a digital one
I’ve questioned this many times
@@shamz_ai digital is just a word. This world is similar to the “real” … similar simulacra
Exactly
I haven’t been bored since I was under 10 waiting for Xmas morning to start.
No such thing as bored. Try imagination instead. This thing is truly the end of us....
The ability to allow ourselves to be bored is a skill. Before cell phones we had television. Before television we had radio. Before radio we had newspapers. Before newspapers we had books. Before books we had… Nature. Life. Each other.
We could go backwards, but that’s not likely unless we give up the ability to read and write.
The way forward is to learn to be bored, again. I suggest someone write a bio-feedback enabled game which rewards the state of being bored. When we can enter that state at will, we will have moved through. Technology will then be a servant; rather than a master.
For me boredom is reading a book , read newspapers , or just sit and be bored watching the sky.
I’m always wondering how these things that get so close to our eyeballs affect our eye health, it’s like we take our eyesight for granted.
''Apple said it could solve depresion'' Where did you get this from? They never said that.
6:00 for anyone wondering.
Interesting subject
In those moments that I might have been bored, I am fascinated with what is before me to experience!
Boredom is the source of creativity
this is pretty surreal to be witnessing after i started playing cyberpunk
what you do is amazing brotha
I think that every technology is fine to use as long as you have SELF CONTROL.
As long as you LIMIT the amount of time you spend on it.
Thats the key thing.
I will say the danger isn’t fully in technology, but in our relationship to technology and social media. We’re anxious thinking about our future and depressed thinking about our past (swap it if need be). Being board gives us an opportunity to dive deep within themselves, but escapism is at an all time high in all forms. We’re getting further away from connection with each other, nature and more importantly ourselves.
Going from excited to terrified each day
that's because you are waking up to what the globalists have planned for us. be careful. as you do your research, you will learn things that will terrify you. Once you start learning what is really going on, you will never be compliant again.
love the logical breakdown as much as i love the technology and advancement .
This is the epitomy of the carrot on a stick
I have never been bored ever since I started taking notes in notebooks and odd bits of paper on subjects that were of interest to me to me and sayings and ideas I found funny or inspiring . School always bored me and am so sad the years before my 20’s were so unproductive and miserable. I found all sorts of memory techniques that help use the stuff I jotted down in my notes! I had the internet going on in my pages two decades before it really got going!
Sometimes nothing is something worth doing.
As much as I don't really like contacts, I would really not like this massive headset on my face all the time even more. Making contacts with these capabilities would be really neat.
Casting shadows on the wall is the best! So tight!
Im 18 and I can already see myself becoming a boomer in 20 years because I dont wanna you use this shit
A boomer is a specific generation of humans. What you might end up becoming is becoming a conservative person.
There was a TV series that addressed this situation. I can't remember the name and can't find it. No, it's not "The Peripheral." The only scene that stands out in my mind is when the MC visits a friend who lives in a hovel. The friend is holding his arms out and swaying like he's dancing. When the MC speaks the friend asks him to wait because he is in the ballroom.
Why aren't the batteries on the headband, to balance out the weight?
Sadly, most people fokus on the bordom theme, while you said so important things to the privacy aspect. We need a system for all glasses that gets 3 things done.
1. Secure, private, and opensauce use of data with full control for the user.
2. Full compatibility between "virtual spaces" of all kinds for things like "holograms" (so no company gets a monopol)
3. An alternative to "Wlan" (Network based ecosystem) so devices can speak to each other without a network that collectively harvests your data and collectively gives security issues on every device that is connected.
Like an encryped Bluetooth 6.cracked so devices speak directly to each other, fast and secure
To the problem that we live entirely digital with them.
I think glasses are the chance to use devices more with the social aspect. Now we all just look down on our smartphones and don't look up on the right moments. The glasses are a way to get the digital world better integrated into real life. Instead of pausing real life to get on the Internet and watch 10 times how to bake a cake before you do it, you can even let your glasses give instructions on how to turn your oven on.
Or think of social interactions, as an introvert, a VR space would be much more fun than chating the whole day on my smartphone (as I often do... see here)
We just need to make them capable of doing productive things, then they will be much better for the social aspect than Smartphones.
Security is an illusion and all of the things you're hoping to avoid will happen anyway.
Boredom = thinking , which is something they don’t want us to do!
It looks and sounds really cool. But when you really think about it, its kinda sad and even scary
Great video Aperture and I like your videos so much and the apple vision pro will change technology forever :]
I love being bored and long for that serene feeling. But I have information FOMO...
I like your idea here, it could well be the beginning of something new and terrifying but they are just glasses you don't use them all the time like a smartphone. The XR future is promising in ways.
When you told that the eyes are projected on the outside I first though you were kidding, just to find out that it is TRUE. That gives me the creeps, really...
The Apple Vision Pro reminds me of what Michael Douglas puts on his face and wears in the 1992 movie Disclosure.
They'll keep miniaturizing this until the day comes when people can't live without it.
This is an excellent video. Thanks for making it.
I've been seeing this trend develop over the lifespan of the internet first, then smartphones and social media, and now this.
A few collaborators and I have made a narrative analog/cosmic horror podcast called FORBIDDEN CASSETTES: CONSUMMATION that explores similar themes. You might dig it.
this new ar/vr product is interesting 🤔
I think i will wait for the hollodeck thanks
What’s terrifying is seeing amazing youtubers like you accept making adds for temu. Such a downfall
I do wonder though, why was this only a concern when Apple released the Vision Pro, when headsets like the Meta Quest has been out for years?
I remember I once was walking thought the street when I overheard a little kid say to his mom : "Mom, why do you never give me your hand? You're always on your phone".
Thats so heart shattering
oh boy, special goggles that lets ads be beamed directly into my eyes. what a revolutionary technology... /s
In a dystopian situation, this could be used to keep captive people mentally captive but also keep them from deteriorating, they can be training instead of sitting idle in a box or basement. And as always, if you imagine it, it’s been going on for a long time.
The last time I was bored was when I was a disgruntled teenager many years before the internet. The idea of getting bored in today’s day and age, just boggles the mind.
I suppose if you’re constantly expecting a high level of stimulation, then even the entire history of the world and up to the moment, sum of all human knowledge in your pocket is still never going to be enough.
Im sure someone said the same about smartphones and televisions before. Think this is ol foegy syndrome setting in my friend
At 57 I have seen this coming especially after COVID, which accelerated this x 25 the stay out of my space . The whole lack of actual physical contact whether simple converse or touch which will eventually end up being viewed as a revolting act , My heart weighs heavy for the life experience's to know and feel love , The giving and receiving that will be missed by so many, there must be some truth to some falling in love to the voice of an AI generated device , Such a lonely world .
boredom is a placeholder to avoid us discovering our true selves
Distracting yourself from life... what will we truly experience?
The reports of weird side effects of these make this video well timed.
I never get bored - I grew up having to be basically non-existent - unless I was required to do chores - so I got very good at entertaining myself and developed my own creativity and learning to such an extent I was able to use this ability to became very successful in my career - I now teach at 3 universities. I also do long distance swimming and so many people ask don’t you get bored? They just don’t get it ! how “boredom” is just their minds telling them that - and we are not our minds 😊
seems like brave new world is becoming true.
I don't have any apps on my phone.
I use youtube and reddit on browser. Still I struggle to not waste time but Imagine if this vision pro becomes the new norm.
Dystopia
being bored gave my time for philosophical introspection and I started reading books which changed my life.
I can’t remember the last time I was bored ….I’m not even sure I know how boredom works…my mind is always busy
"Boredom" is really an opportunity for reflection. And it's extremely important.
I love board!
I your though people walking and looking at their phones was annoying, you've seen nothing yet...
I still get bored and that is when I have problems like anxiety and the like. It is not just what I can do with the technology but what I can create.
For most people yes, it will be terrifying. But for a very few, it will be freedom For the aged few polio victems still trapped in breathing coffins, it will be freedom. For the very few stroke victims in locked-in-syndrome it will be freedom For those with advanced Alheimers diisease, this system may be able to automatically detect when they need reassurance and prevent wandering with a recorded teleplay of where they are and who everyone around them is, providing freedom (from their disease). This device will hopefully be useless for most. But hopefully the service will be kept alive for the very few for whom it may provide _freedom_
Just because something is terrible to _you_ does not make it terrible for all. Take another perspective, maybe?
you're dropping too much nuance for the fear-peddlers
@@keyworksurfer Maybe a few will listen.
are you fucking crazy? this shit is the worst thing for those people. Also, please for the love of god, learn how to go back and edit your fucking comments before you post them.
“The problem is when we look up from our screens the problems of the real world are still there to haunt us”.
Sounds like the real problem is, some don’t know how to deal with life, so they’re looking for a distraction or an easy way out.
Virtual perspective with virtual Xperience. David X
I have a DJI avada drone, after 100 hours of flight time I have become so accustomed to flight I literally feel as if I am in the drone as it flys. That’s only 100 hours and developing the flight controller skills to fly in real time without crashing. Imagine how someone will feel using one of these new Apple goggles who has thousands and thousands of hours of use and skill with the interface.
People just want it for corn. Let's be honest
5:10 "Turn off, tune out, learn a trade"
Most reviewers are saying it's way too expensive and doesn't have that many useful apps. Without games I don't see the point of this.
Entertainment and social media I need it.
This Apple vision pro reminds me a lot of the dystopian science fiction film; Strange Days.
I almost thought this was an AD for apple
Boredom is the mother of Creativity, don't let some meddle man pushing away your creativity to invent something that doesn't gate keep your windows to the soul from those around you.
It's literally our phone attached to our forehead. We're all fucked, it's been fun gentlemen
i know people that stay in VR on their headsets in VRChat for 24h even when going to bathroom
Books beat boredom. Exercise your mind. Let your brains, imagine and create your own reality. Don’t let these corporations own you and your minds.
Welcome to a dystopian hellscape.
Being bored is important for exercising self analysis & developing your imagination! To be constantly entertained & distracted will inevitably make you into a virtual vegetable! End of. 👎💥
Would be pretty cool for video games
If they figure out how to make it in a form of small contacts or at most glasses. i'd pay way more then $3500 for it lol
Everyone needs to read John Green’s books.
What could Players have done in reality instead of the time they spent in virtual reality?
Cared for it
Just by the thumbnail, i could see that it is definitely gonna be a lot harder to quit these products. Yet imagine how much more it will be in the future
Humanity is not exciting
