Round one: Digital music replaces musicians. Actors and audience don't much care.
Round two: Holograms replace actors. Audience doesn't much care.
Round three: Virtual audience replaces real audience. Real audience doesn't even notice, as the computers find that the all-digital performance can be optimized by running the simulation at many times real life speed. Der Ring des Nibelungen takes only 1.5 seconds in the new theater.

Tis a joke, but your post is the inspiration for my next billion dollar idea:

1. Search Wikipedia for a couple of lines from an obscure algorithm to make a joke post
2. Realize that on Wall Street there is nothing too weird that some desperate suckers might not actually believe it
3. Publish actual stock market guide filled with cut and paste sciency-looking stuff
4 Profit!

A degree in cosmology takes years of study and research. A degree in cosmetology can be obtained in six months. Your girlfriend will laugh and ridicule your opinions in cosmetology, but you feel fully qualified to comment on the current questions being studied in cosmology.
