[FRIAM] Isness: Using Multi-Person VR to Design Peak Mystical-Type Experiences Comparable to Psychedelics

[Steve Smith]

I could (almost) claim that I don't understand a word of what you wrote 
here. ("I don't even know what you just said).  It has the earmarks of a 
(n un) natural text generator working with a fairly rarified 
"gamer/fanboi" lexicon?  Or maybe a couple of lexicons merged (e.g. 
"pwned electorSlates") with a couple of contemporary news items (e.g. 
marLago).  I'm not sure if the SenatorsCreed reference involved a 
recombination inside the AssassinCreed domain or if it was a mashup in 
the moment?

Is this kind of hallucinagenic stream-of-consciousness a PoMo thing or a 
Po PoMo?  or more likely an (n*Po) Mo... ?
