In these worlds, we will be able to be whoever we choose to be, feel gifted, superhuman and as strong or as weak as we choose without having to leave the living room
I wonder if you watched the movie called Ready Player One? I think you will enjoy it, or if you want to see a more serious approach to a similar idea, check a Black Mirror episode called San Junipero.
But this idea of preferring to live our lives inside an online world can be attractive to a lot of people, maybe one day it will become a reality.
Have you read about the simulation theory?
Haven't seen the movie (or many movies in the last few years for that matter)but will give it a go if I ever have a chance :)
Not really but I have heard enough and though about it a fair bit. It is possible I think.
I reckon many people would happily forget their real-world worries in favour of immersion. Many do it now in much more rudimentary ways.
