i imagine the people who are so into pornography that they would want a $3500 head mounted screen for watching pornography either A: already have a VR porn solution or B: are absolutely not solvent enough to purchase a $3500 device to watch porn on

tentatively, i agree with their conclusions, but the paragraph about "watchwords" reducing the confidence of children and their interest in play is totally unfounded based on the article that they cite, which is just a proposed experimental protocol! based on that and the article's tone in general, i do get the impression that the authors aren't quite impartially weighing up the risks and benefits of risky/unstructured play in the way that i would hope to see in an academic article

after the failure of sanders and corbyn somehow i doubt that the point of ostensibly "left" parties "adopting" rightwing policies is to win votes but rather guarantee the profits and ideologies of the donor class. they have no incentive or interest in actually governing or delivering even the weak progressive policies they claim to support because they do quite well off of donations, insider trading, "speeches" for the private sector, etc
