Boringgggggggggggg.
For me it's an ice cream parlour, disco, philosophy stage, music stage, popcorn eating TV viewer, with smellyvision, while on SOMA from Brave New World and, failing all that, the experience machine just transforms into something even better when you get bored.
Oh, and plenty of animals and nature as well as technology, of course.
Lots of mysticism. Lots of science. Lots of knowledge. Lots of facts. Lots of logic. No socialization whatsover, full connection with others, all boundaries blended, but completely safe and force-fielded at all times. No pain, no suffering and no consequences. No stories. Only surprise and joy. No lies. No falsehoods.
No religion. No politics. No love. No free will. No egos. Only the absurd. Nothing problematic. Everything real. Nothing unreal. Everything virtual. Everything actual. All mental. All physical. Experience lived the full with zero sensitivity to unpleasurable suffering. And never being bored or lonely. Beyond romance. Beyond compassion. Beyond love. Only truth. Beyond religious truth. Beyond objective truth. Only the absolutely relative, the consistently inconsistent, the joy in the moment, the joy in the moment of the experience of the past and future, as they seem to exist, in the moment. The sense in the nonsense. Beyond concepts. Philosophy as art. Emotion as experience. Logic as reality. Facts as knowledge. Knowledge without irrationality. Rationality without bias. Only the sound, only the steady, in all senses. In all ways. No races. No hurrying. No waiting. All joy. Pure joy. Only peace. No overexcitement. Only excitement. No anxiety. No lack of safety. No recklessness. No lulled-int-false-insecurity. No nothing. One. 1. Higher than drugs and safer than forcefields. Freer than the will.
