Well, I can't help but feel I'd play Orpheus in this augmented reality scenario of yours. I could see X as what I want him to be, and through my correcting lenses, he would become that, but I'd always feel the need to check. To take the glasses off and see if he's really become this way or if it's just the glasses.
Why would I want something that isn't real? Especially from someone else...
As for what I'd change about myself, I'd definitely be recognizable. I don't want to change much about me because I love me. Changing myself seems such a silly idea...I'm happy with who I am, with how I look, how I think. It's enough.
I wonder how peer pressure would affect people, if there would be sub groups of users and non and if people would separate based on what they saw, not the reality. It would essentially be an amplifier of what we have now, would it?
Who says what we see is reality? ;)
the only thing we seem to be certain about is that we are conscious, I am conscious. I can't speak for you or any other, nor you for me. What this means is that our own consciousness is the only thing that is real but we cannot be sure if it is telling the truth since we have conditioned it to work on assumption and habit. reality would then be the view of consciousness through an unconditioned mind, a free mind. Is it possible? that is the journey.
