Great talk Matt! Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing your story...your team is doing awesome work inventing new models for improving our mental health!
I actually thought about this about 8 years back when playing fallout new vegas, but my idea was for problems like agoraphobia and social anxiety disorder doing things as you would in your normal everyday life like talking to people, driving, going out to grab some food and other simple things that some of us have problems with. Basically pre exposure therapy followed by real exposure therapy.
what about the use of VR for non prisoners - those who are struggling with PTSD or other types of mental health concerns like depression? This would be a great way to help some of our young adults who are dealing with these types of concerns in record numbers - is this being explored?
the failings of the mental health system is probably the important part of this talk. VR is great, but wow do we have a messed up system... and everyone relies on it like it actually works.
And I'm all for any type of treatment that doesn't involve medication because with meds you might get the desired effect but it seems like when it comes to meds they help you in one area but cause you problems in another, then they want to put you on another pill for the new problem which might help it but the cycle just repeats itself and causes yet another problem and continues until your a half dead zombie with 20 different meds...
The Matrix is the only possibility for the existence of our world of illusions. The scenario of the Matrix is being imposed on the primitive half of the human bio-organism, which does not have its own intellect. In fact, the intellect is the Matrix. However, the Matrix does not speak English or any other language. Our consciousness can either only observe the performance of the Matrix, or being fully identified with its role, participate in it. The possibilities of influencing the scenario of the Matrix are extremely limited.
It is truly amazing how far we have come, and how far we have to go. Thank you for sharing the work and being a voice to get the word out!
He's a very good speaker. He came to my community college and did a talk. It really resonated with me as I suffer from depression.
Remember that cold showers if done correctly can help you
That is very kind - thank you Kristina!
@@mattjbv Your talk really did resonate with me.

Still love you so, Matt, so I visit you once in a while. Just you and Uncle Bob (I read his obit).

You don’t need VR. You’ll get the same result from yoga, meditation and watching relaxation videos.
