It's gonna be great

See "Factfulness" by Rosling about the increasing wealth and security of the human population.  I know it is hard to believe but in many ways it is true. You have a better and better chance of living, not to a ripe old age but to an active, contributing old age.  But, of course, there are consequences. As more people reach advanced ages, more people have the time, the money and the energy to travel. More and more people want to see this world.  The plains of the Dakotas, the ice of the Arctic, the peaks of the Himalayas, the steaming Amazon with its tapirs and toucans.


But the bad news is flying is polluting, the cost of fuel is high, the plane seats are small and skinny while you and I aren't. So, the good news is for a nice price, we can zap your brain.  You can have the full experience of international, adventuresome travel. Come to our shop. It's in the strip mall, the one vacated by the tattoo parlor. For $1199.95, we will zap you. You get to lay out on a comfortable cot for the recovery hour.  When you leave just 75 minutes later, you will have a little jet lag, memories galore, no lost bags (you will remember the scare of nearly missing your connecting flight and the short grilling at security when you forgot to put your liquids in a separate bag).  You will remember the high points and some low ones, too, just like the old-fashioned high carbon footprint method.
