People spend one-third of their lives asleep. What if employees could work during that time … in their dreams?
Prophetic, a venture-backed startup founded earlier this year, wants to help workers do just that. Using a headpiece the company calls the “Halo,” Prophetic says consumers can induce a lucid dream state, which occurs when the person having a dream is aware they are sleeping. The goal is to give people control over their dreams, so they can use that time productively. A CEO could practice for an upcoming board meeting, an athlete could run through plays, a web designer could create new templates—“the limiting factor is your imagination,” founder and CEO Eric Wollberg told Fortune.
Edit: someone else beat me to it, I cede to you my bruh
Almost never had the pleasure, but I believe one of the main tipoffs that you’re dreaming is whatever text you’re looking at will be illegible. And they are expecting coding to happen.
Though the more interesting screw up is there exists any CEO anywhere that honestly believes I’m not going to use this for porn.
Ive heard that too, but I have no problem reading things in my dreams. And I make a note about that in my dreams too. Lol.
One one hand this tech would be fun to play with on your own. But on the other having to work day and night is very dystopian. Come to think of it do any of these corpos ever think that humans are still needed in capitalism. Like if you forced everyone to have the work ethic they desire humans would probably not socialize or reproduce. A break free work world would bring humanity to extinction in the most depressing way possible. Edit: also if everyone is spending all their time working then who would be the customers. Who is going to buy the things these corpos want to sell.
No.
