I have to find the study, but somebody tried to calculate the size of our memories in all live and it was like 120MB only, the "holes" we are constantly inventing them.
Almost all of us knows we can't be the herd alpha. Most people even don't try it, and other people like us takes the option to study and progress in our careers, mainly in knowledge works. We discover this provided us intellectual pleasure, and we'll find useful advantages of having literally everything at hand in a virtual reality. But this doesn't mean we don't want to be alphas, at least in our minimum local. I am with you, for some people will be the best experience of their lives, but my doubts are if they and us will be happy in a perfect experience like this.

I have several doubts:
-
If we can have isolated brains, the next logical step is not having even a brain. We would upload all our brain into a simulated one and continue living the simulation. It would be more efficient.
-
What would be the incentives to living such a live as this? Only experience continuous pleasure? Having an endless orgasm or being drunk for years?
The current incentives can be always reduced to be the herd's alpha male or female. Every one of the living beings in this planet would become the dominant agent if they'd had the opportunity. In a simulated world, how would be reproduced that? Nobody would like to be under an alpha. Everybody will choose to be the alpha in their respective simulation, then we'll have only interactions with synthetic people.
If we only have success in ours lives, and we can even avoid the pains of the real existence like hunger or facing the death, would we want to live? Why?
This remembers me when the agent Smith said that in a previous version of Matrix where everybody was happy, the people suicide in mass. Or the Borges tale "The inmortals" where those inmortal people lived in holes in the ground passing the days because they've already lived all the possibilities infinite times and they didn't expect anything new in their lives.
- This makes me think such virtual worlds would be only an entertainment.
