We are all mortal until the first (machine) kiss
(says Eduardo Galeano?)
Here’s yet another attempt by mortals to imagine they are gods:
“A Chinese start-up inspired by lockdown isolation has invented a long-distance kissing machine that transmits users' kiss data collected through motion sensors hidden in silicon lips, which simultaneously move when replaying kisses received. The MUA — named after the sound people commonly make when blowing a kiss — also captures and replays sound and warms up slightly during kissing, making the experience more authentic.”
“Greet one another with a kiss of love.” (1 Peter 5:14)
I recently wrote about artificial intimacy so I suppose I’ll direct you there rather than repeat myself here:
💋💋💋💋
This is so sad. I frequently come across the social media profiles of people who have no understanding of healthy human intimacy. Absent some radical changes, they'll have no chance of experiencing it. The tech substitutes offered and sought after are just ghastly.
Gimme a break.
Can't bear any more of this nonsense.
Feel like I'd need to move to the top of the Himalayas to get away from this crap...
Or maybe just destroy my "devices"...
