Quote from Carmack The Magnificent: The Context in which he spoke is the Military Photonics Market

How can somebody who is lionized for his "brilliance" be so ignorant of so many basics. Like, one easy example the Brain Isolation phenomenon that will be Oculus' undoing. Here he demonstrates that he has no idea what the market is that he intends to destroy. Tell me Carmack, what military application is most appropriate for the Oculus? Maybe you can sell one to "so called" Navy Seal Jesse Ventura and tell him it's a UDT Mask from the 60s. Team Oculus is a joke.
Mr. Carmack is flailing to find a justification for all the ballyhooed "we are changing the world" crap and need a nobler cause to engage than touring Jerry Seinfeld's Apartment or riding a Virtual Roller Coaster." Yes you are "murdering" (strange choice of words there) a portion of the market, the one you inhabit. He went on to say the average cost of a Military Optical System and he provided no specificity what category of device was $25,000. hashtag#ignoramus
