Telepresence

Telepresence is a technology that allows you to exist in a different location by operating a system remotely. Introduced by Marvin Minsky, the concept suggests we can control a machine from a distance and feel as if we are physically part of it.

We can feel as though we are holding something because of how our brains process external signals. When a machine sends back data regarding weight, resistance, and texture, our brain interprets these as physical sensations. This involves two key systems:

• Haptics: The sense of touch and tactile feedback.
• Proprioception: The brain's awareness of the position and movement of the body (or its extension e.g remote control, VR, AR).

This connection only works if the system is instantaneous. If there is a delay (latency) between your action and the robot's response, your brain treats it as obviously fake. Your brain stops feeling "present" and starts feeling detached.

This is remarkably similar to online socializing. You can never truly connect with someone if there is no shared emotional resonance. Even in a virtual world, you may still feel lonely because there is no authentic "feedback loop" between you and the other person.

This is why social media is often a poor remedy for loneliness. To stop feeling isolated, you must find genuine connections people who understand your feelings and truly care about you.

If you feel like giving up on both the virtual and the real world, remember this:

If you go through everything without love, without anyone, without anything, without a penny,

just keep f*cking doing whatever the opposite of suicide, you will meet the right timing and people eventually, it's not WHEN and WHERE but HOW.
