One of my longterm plans, as soon as I am good enough in Maya, is to design these 3D mask shapes – cooler than stormtrooper masks, goggles, similar to electro gasmasks – and then print then with shapeways. Fashion article meets anonimizer meet air filter meet VR HUD meet protection and territorial statement. I think there will be a market for facial wearables, for all these reasons, and more.

I admit that his particular theory is not very likely — it’s a specific prediction of the future, after all — (and he seems to back away from it in his own comment) but I don’t think the arguments against it are there.

Where in the comments do they “knock down” the female modesty theory? All I see are a lot of doctrinaire assertions.

I’d prefer to live in a society that allowed personal acquisition and expression of power than our current plutocracy.
