The Emperor’s New Clothes


THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES

The Ancient Mariner’s is energized by the article in ‘Wired’ Magazine that portrays him as "The Mad Genius from the Bottom of the Sea"

But the Ancient Marine cannot escape the fact that nearly one million people will read the Wired Article and are flooding his email with the hope that the Ancient Mariner will tell them (in one or two information bytes) what is real and what is virtual reality.

The Ancient Mariner will elaborate on each of these charades as time and reader interest permit. Reader suggestions for additions are welcome but do not waste your time arguing that I am wrong. I may be and then again I may not. ‘For now we see through a a glass, darkly. We know in part and we prophecy in part knowing that perfection comes in a cloak of virtual reality.
