Because of time, I have to rush this a little bit. But the point is that I was just talking with Blaise, and we thought in virtual reality a facilitator can talk with not just 300 people with telecommunication and telepresence. We can talk with 7,000 people, as we have here, because people can just put on their Google Cardboard or some other virtual reality headset, and participate virtually, as if they are there.

Blaise had this wonderful way of putting it, "shepherding," That’s how he put it. The facilitator can say, "These people are talking about a sub-topic, so I shepherd you into this small room, a virtual room."

Then you go there and deliberate and have consensus and bring it back, and then we can have a larger policy discussion, not just across the three cities in Taiwan, but across nations and across countries, as well.

Finally, I think this is about attention — The symmetry of attention. This is my last slide.
