Lets assume we develop the capacity to create virtual worlds that are near indistinguishable from the real world. We hook you up into a machine and you now find yourself in what effectively is a paraller reality where you get to be the king of your own universe (if you so desire). Nothing is off limits - everything you’ve ever dreamt of is possible. You can be the only person there, you can populate it with unconscious AI that appears consciouss or you can have other people visit your world and you can visit theirs aswell as spend time in “public worlds” with millions of other real people.

Would you try it and do you think you’d prefer it over real world? Do you see it as a negative from individual perspective if significant part of the population basically spend their entire lives there?

    I wanna live in the project zomboid universe or into the radius VR. There’s just something about living in a apocalypse and trying to survive that makes it appealing for me.

      Knowing the food I make my Zomboid PC eat, I definitely wouldn’t want to. Time to eat an entire can of sardines and wash it down with some evaporated milk!
