The analogy was spot on. You just disagree with it.
Which is fine. But you miss so much of the bigger picture, the effect on human psychology, the drive to explore and learn, that is done UP front and IN person.
I can watch medical videos all day long on YouTube... But would you want me doing surgery on you if I hadn’t actually “been there and done that”?
Having information is all well and good, but personal experience cannot be underestimated.
As for Marriage night, look at the damage that “virtual” experiences are doing to real relationships... I rest my case.
“I can watch medical videos all day long on YouTube... But would you want me doing surgery on you if I hadn’t actually “been there and done that”?”
Again, another wrong analogy - off planet exploration vs medical surgery.
We now have troops who fly drones, globally, and remotely, cancelling out the former need and risk for jet pilots, required previously in many situations now replaced by drones under remote control. From drones to full jet aircraft is not far off. Yet you (a) think we have learned nothing from it and (b) ought to unnecessarily re-engage live human pilots in situations where we no longer use them. Just to satisfy some “human need”. LOL
“The analogy was spot on. You just disagree with it.”
No. There was nothing “spot on” about it. It was apples vs oranges.
