Reply to comment by sticky_symbols in Instead of escaping to virtual realities, what if we just made our reality as good as any virtual reality could be? by [deleted]
While VR might be able to one day feel as real as the real world, the problem will still be that the VR is not tethered to the real world like our bodies are. If we decide to spend major amounts of time in VR, we risk alienating our consciousness from our body.
We could decide to augment our DNA or upload our consciousness entirely, but that would cease to be VR and would become an entirely new mode of existence.
