Daily Links: Delusion as a Service - Cory Doctorow's Curated Collection

22d ago· 16 min readenOpinion

Summary

The article is a collection of daily links curated by Cory Doctorow, with the featured link titled "Delusion as a service." It uses an anecdote about Disney's "Mission: Space" ride from 2003, which was a centrifuge-based space simulator that dangerously surfaced undiagnosed heart defects in riders. The piece appears to use this as a metaphor or lead-in for broader commentary, likely about technology, business practices, or societal delusions.

In 2003, Disney opened a new Epcot ride, 'Mission: Space.'
Formally, it was a space travel sim that used a giant, high-intensity centrifuge to simulate gee stresses; practically, it turned out to be the most efficient machine ever created for surfacing previously undiagnosed heart defects in extremely dramatic and potentially lethal ways.
It turned out that a small number of people have these heart defects, and that the defects themselves are quite harmless, provided that you are never put in a giant, high-intensity centrifuge.
