I'm better at reading in a car than my parents are. I bet the next generation who grows up with VR headsets around them will adapt and not have any of the nausea feeling we currently have.


I have my doubts that you're part of a generation that has evolved the ability to read comfortably in cars. I get nausea reading in a car but I don't think my dad does.

Evolution works a bit more slowly than that.


I don't think the case is being made for genetic evolution but instead for neuroplasticity.

The visual cortex in humans is capable of very significant adaptations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1-TaR5ToKw
