I agree with the idea of limiting such technology to only to the rich to the point of it being refused to help those who feel, and are, shut in and ignored from the wider society (ND people, the homeless, the working poor, trans people, we all know who) as either for therapy or to improve their social life. Because, and everyone say it with me now, "Everyone should pull themselves up from there boot straps! Giving people help will make them lazy!" Some people are selfish sure, but NEVER underestimate the other emotions too: fear (of repercussions of what will happen if they rock the boat). Awe (of the wealthy. "They deserve it because they're smarter and work harder!") And the willingness to be ignorant. All three combined? And you get current human society.
I identify with Fluttershy and Twilight myself. I don't talk much and m slow to accept others as friends.
