Πώς καταλαβαίνετε το turn off εδώ; Το θέμα είναι ο αυνανισμός.

You're performing muscular movements with your hand but what you're really doing, I think, is you're running a movie in your head. Having a fantasy relationship with someone who isn't real, strictly to stimulate a neurological response.
Look, as the Internet grows in the next 10, 15 years and virtual reality pornography becomes a reality, we're gonna have to develop some real machinery inside our guts to turn off pure, unalloyed pleasure.

Και αν σας ενδιαφέρει τι λέει στη συνέχεια, είναι το εξής:

Or I don't know about you, Ι'm gonna have to leave the planet.

Why?

Because the technology is just gonna get better and better, and get easier and easier and more and more convenient,
and more pleasurable to sit alone with images on a screen given by people who do not love us, but want our money.
And that's fine, in low doses. But if it's the basic main staple of your diet, you're gonna die.​

Υποθέτω ότι θέλει να πει «να ξεκόψουμε από την καθαρή κι ανόθευτη ηδονή».

Με την κλασική σημασία του turn off: για να απενεργοποιεί, δηλαδή εδώ για να αποφεύγουμε.

to switch something off so that it stops running or operating

to dull someone's interest in someone or something

Αλλιώς, όλη μέρα το χαβά μας και ζήτω που καήκαμε. We'd be jerking off the planet, immersed in tittytainment.

Δίκιο έχετε. Για κάποιο λόγο, μου φάνηκε περίεργο να θέλει κάποιος να διακόψει την καθαρή και ανόθευτη ηδονή.

Εντάξει. Είπαμε «επικούρειοι», αλλά μην καταντήσει να θέλουμε κούρα κι επικουρία στο τέλος.
