t Meta's new glasses. You know, they look like regular glasses but it allows you to see things extra. So you'll see your regular environment but extra stuff added. And Joe Rogan was talking about some Harvard kid who figured out how to use facial recognition software with these glasses. So I guess you can add your own apps. And if you look at somebody with the glasses, that calls up their social media and Wikipedia and whatever is available about them online.

Now Joe Rogan seemed to think that that was a terrible idea and that, you know, I guess I could find your address and everything else if your address is public. So here's my take on this. You can wish that this didn't exist. You could hope that people would not use these glasses for something that looks like a privacy violation of some sort. But it's not going to happen. So I'm not in favor of it or against it. It's sort of like complaining about the rain. It's just going to rain whether you complain about it or not. And technology is definitely going to give you this capability. You will be able to see things in your glasses that are not in the environment. Some of it will be telling you something about the person you're talking to. I guarantee it. There's no way around it, whether it comes from individuals who are hacking it or it comes from the company Meta. It's just going to happen.

So again, I'm not in favor of it or against it. It's just going to happen. But in related news, according to the Brighter Side of News, Joshua Shain is writing that there's some emotion-sensitive technology that people could wear so you could tell what their emotions are in real time. I guess they figured out how to use galvanic skin responses at a more granular way than we've used them before so that you can actually tell people's specific and immediate emotions based on what's happening around them.

Now it's not exactly completely done and it's a level above mood rings and things that we've had before. But now imagine putting these two technologies together. So imagine you could walk up to a stranger and you would know something about them. And let's say one of the things about them is they like dogs because they've got a lot of dogs on their social media. You could immediately engage them in a conversation if you were shy. You can walk up and say, "Whoa, you've got a corgi. Oh my, my aunt had a corgi. Those are great."

That would be a little creepy if they didn't know you had the special glasses on. But you know, imagine a time when everybody has them. Everybody knows. And then you could determine whether the things you were saying were making the person you're talking to happy or not. So I don't know. There could be a big benefit to shy people because shy people don't know what to say to new people that they're meeting. That's the biggest problem. If they knew exactly what to say, nobody would be shy.

But imagine if you just saw enough about somebody that you could walk up to anybody and just use their name and you know something about them. It would solve a lot of shyness problems. Speaking as a shy person. Well, I'm a recovered shy person. The best way to recover from shyness is to become famous. It turns
