Also... I don't know how it could ever get boring. I'd be a god in my reality, able to create whatever entertainment I want. I wouldn't just be carrying on as now with less problems. And I could wipe my own memory and redo things over any time I wanted too!
I may spend longer than the average person thinking about this... Feel free to send me a private message.

Nah, I'm good. I like where I live. Soon as the price on SteamVR drops though...Imma spend a significant amount of time in Ark.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
How's this one?

I would not want to leave my normal life, never to be able to come back. However, if there were some scheme where I could hang out in my ultimate VR for, like, 12 hours, that would be cool.
But the thing is, my ultimate VR seems to change every five minutes. I couldn't handle that much change in that little time. Worse than the fact IRL that I have moved enough to have lived in 7 locales in 6 states. I need settlement.

We already have natural VR, our dreams.

Don't push this, EP. No reds or greens. Those colors are reserved. If you keep playing this like a 12 year old child, we'll treat you like one.

No, I wouldn't. Living in a blissful and "perfect" world where I have no limits would be boring. Yes I can make it hard for myself but It's not really hard in the sense where I can make it as easy as ever in an instant. I don't want to be whatever I want wherever I want and have whatever I want because I love true diversity and uniqueness. In a world where I can do all those things there is no true diversity or uniqueness, it's all determined by what I want. Also one major point is I'd rather be in the world right now and be a good person, make as many people as I can happy instead of going away from all the suffering. If I could take everyone in the world with me, then sure. But If I could only go myself or with friends and family then no. I'm seriously ok with the possibility of my life going to shit in an instant and me not being able to do much about it, but at the same time my life can be amazing with true hardwork etc as in I can't just snap my fingers and get succesful.
As for the imaginary vs real debate with Alasdair and Rob I thought I'd put my two cents. What I'd consider imaginary and real: My thougts are imaginary because all of it is just in my brain/mind made of neurons communicating. If I wouldn't be here my thoughts/imagination wouldn't be either. So they're not real in that sense but of course they're caused by physical things. But let's say my desk in my room, it's made up of more than neurons and it's there whether I exist or not. And let's say someone laughing in my imagination it's just my neurons communicating but someone laughing in reality there really is happiness in that laughter not just neurons communicating. |
