Augmented Truth

After people have been wearing augmented reality goggles for two or three years, we’ll have the data. People will be able to choose what to know: For every place in sight, if I go that way, what are the odds that I will die/meet the love of my life/be inspired to quit my job/etc. It will take longer to gather the data to compute odds for the interesting questions, like “Will I patent the wheel?”

give me a clue so sweet and true
