Reply to comment by Cryptizard in the singularity is already a threat to our mental well-being by Ohigetjokes

I 100% disagree about your statement on what most people want. Read the other comments if you want a window into how people tend to enthusiastically and self-righteously throw themselves into mental dysfunction.

I agree that many choose to engage with life and will continue to do so. Not the point of the post.

This sub is not a representative sample. Many people come her specifically to delude themselves to make them feel better about their lives. Think about people you actually know, in real life. Most people I know don’t even play video games, they are too busy living their lives. VR would make no difference to them.

lol, I like your hardcore takes. But I think you are probably a sportsy person, so most of your friends are similar. The sad truth is that many people are addicted to their devices, as we speak, the number of children who play outside as opposed to spend all day on their phones or PlayStations is decreasing.

The same goes for teens and adults. Now imagine an even better tech comes along, which lets them live in a fantasy world which is even more immersive, do you think they will pass up the opportunity.

Only if their lives continue to suck in the real world. I can’t imagine getting to ultra realistic VR with ASI and not also fixing our real world problems.
