I dunno, I think I thought of it after seeing a cat cafe for the first time. there was a bunch of startups trying stuff like this in LA in 2019 but then something happened that made sharing a vr headset with a stranger an extremely bad idea, then the vc money ran out when everyone realized vr wasnt going to catch on

it would be a safe room or a panic room, if you are keeping something outside of it rather than trying to escape

I really like the idea. It reminds me of the idea of VR zoos, which serve a sad strange purpose, to assuage us with a false image of a real thing lost

I also would HIGHLY recommend his latest novel SLEEPWALK to anyone reading CSPAM. a really great piece of work you can clearly place in a post-Epstein milieu. really great poo poo.

It's p cool and surreal.
