into experiencing

the virtual world as real.

(crowd applauding)

And the magic is

in the mirror neuron chip

and the micro-dosed DMT.

DMT, that's a...

[Sandra and Hale]

Hallucinogenic.

Naturally occurring.

It primes the brain

to accept the digital reality.

No, no thanks.

No psychedelics

before noon for me, thanks.

- Sandra.

- [Theo] I'll give it a go.

(Z clears throat)

Theo Jones.

Dark Horse Combinator.

I don't think I know you.

Freshest incubator

on the block.

Shall we?

What are you doing here?

Thank me later.

Let's do it!

- (machine beeping)

- [electronic voice] Connecting.

All right!

So, if you want

to end the dive,

exit through the door

at the red light.

All right? Pretty simple.

Got it?

Got it.

You can't affect

the landscapes,

but the landscapes

can affect you.

Don't play with fire.

All right. You ready?

Loving looking

in your angel eyes.

(laughing)

Er, gentlemen,

shall we commence?

[Z]

Close your eyes.

Count backwards from five.

When you open them,

you'll be in.

Got it.

(thinking)

Five, four, three, two, one.

(Theo laughing)

(Theo laughing)

(exhales forcefully)

(sniffs)

(Theo laughing)

I mean, you really have

to try it for yourself.

(whoosh)

Ahh!

(gasps)

(coughing)

- (laughing)

- [electronic voice] Disconnected.

(all laughing)

(group applauding)

Dude.

That is legend.

How did you get the code

to mirror the ceiling

in real time?

Oh, what the hell,

it's noon somewhere.

- Let me try it.

- Even the fire burns...

Wait, what?

What, the fire, no, hang on.

You burned yourself?

So hang on, you hurt yourself?

The brain perceives pain

as it would.

How are you going

to get around that drawback?

It's not a drawback.

It's a feature.

It's a real life system.

That's what I'm giving you.

There's no pleasure without pain.

There's no money

in unsafe virtual worlds.

(stuttering)

Yes.

Sandra, what I'm giving you

is a real sensory modality

that other tech companies

aren't even going near!

I don't wanna be open

for any kind of litigation.

Build me a restart button

and then I...

I'm not selling you

video games.

Just think.

The potential applications...

You don't need to speak for me.

It speaks for itself!

Listen, thank you so much for

a really lively presentation,

but it's a pass, I'm sorry.

It's all yours, Mr. Jones.

Thank you.

Thank you, Sandra!

(sighs)

Not the first.

Won't be the last.

No vision.

Screw the suit.

Technically,

aren't you a suit?

Hale.

Hey.

Hale!

I brought you a present.

Are you bringing drugs

into my establishment?

Nah, not me.

Hmm?

Alaskan Thunderfunk.

Old times' sake?

Step into my office.

(Hale and Theo laughing)
