How about instead of a matrix like vr, it's a deep hole in the ground?

I wouldn't walk out of the theater if it happened.

I'm half remembering a scene from I think one of the justice league movies where they explain that Superman's invulnerability field extends like a millimeter from his skin, mostly protecting his clothes. Something about his powers being based around a telekinetic field projection that, for example, lets him hold entire buildings by a single corner without them crumbling into bricks.

They absolutely deserved the Oscar for that movie (almost literally any of its songs) over fucking Tarzan

In the book he goes to space. Yeah.

I appreciate the movie as the montage of that period in American history it is.

I can't remember if they ever refer to it as anything else in that movie but I actually appreciated this scene in the first movie for two reasons:

Info dumps irritate me in sci fi. He's like the main guy in charge talking to one of his lead scientists. They both absolutely fucking know why they're there. They know what it's called and what it's for. He's spelling it out for our benefit without breaking in-world character. If, in-world, someone started pedantically outlining what the rocks were for to their lead scientists, it would be the equivalent of calling them an idiot. Calling it "unobtainium" is like saying "we've had this argument before, I remember everything you said last time, you know everything I'm about to tell you, and nothing you or I do will change what's happening because you cant get it anywhere else and oh yeah it's worth a fuck load of money".

I can't remember if they later retcon that into being the actual name, but in that moment, it didn't sound like the actual name, it sounded like slang being used informally during a semi heated discussion.

Do you think he has people generating fake comments and things to make him feel like people believe these posts are real? Or does he just believe, sans any evidence, that this reality he generates is reality?

That's exactly what the comment you're responding to is saying, with the additional observation that there would be even less resistance without the Snowden leaks.

one time?! We need a Department of Billionaire Management that routinely sets controlled burns and occasionally culls the herd.
