Actually this is where my idea kind of comes from. So, interesting observation you made there - you're not the only one Wink

Ah yes but that contradicts the premise.

If the fact it doesn't seem real to you makes you not desire it as much then it can't be absolute paradise can it?

That reminds me of 'The Experience Machine' argument here: - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Experience_Machine - actually, and the criticism of it is like my response here.
