I have a highly specific vision of a virtual reality heaven. Basically, I would be left alone for all eternity on my personal island
Funnily enough, you’ve just described, for me, a virtual reality hell
Somehow, I am undecided.
I guess the experience of “nothing could go wrong” is so foreign to me that I have no idea how it would make me feel with regards to needing or not needing other people.
Without other people, any existence would be
mind-numbingly dull
excruciatingly pointless
full of grief and loss; where are my loved-ones? My children?!
Not if it’s an incomplete or low-fidelity mind reconstruction, and that may be the only type possible with this method.
