I love the idea of Google Glass, but preferably covert -- pickups in my visual 
cortex maybe.   Then rather than wasting my time trying to find something to 
watch on Netflix at the end of the day, I could flip through my audio/visual 
experiences and build my Big Book of Lies for future reference.   

iOS has a nice feature for sending different content to e-mail, to Slack, 
whatever.   It would be great fun to paste from these archives to illustrate 
people taking incompatible positions to things they say in writing, etc.

And I don't see why Google Glass, or the Facebook glasses should have a light.

Yeah, continuing the trend of trashing "the hard problem", the zombie argument 
never carried water for me. The duplicates argument, by contrast, carries a lot 
... ala the broken Star Trek Transporter that fails to dissolve the original 
when it makes the copy. Can we really say the Kirk on the planet is the same as 
the Kirk on the ship? What's the half-life for the dissolution into 2 different 
Kirk-qualia?
