  • It all the depends on the how and the what.

    First of all, if the virtual reality is able to replicate physical sensation indistinguishably from the physical world, it’s not virtual, then, is it? Then it’s just alternative reality. If that was the case, the only dilemma would be the implications to the physical world. Will your body still exist, or are we talking San Junipero here?

    As long as there are implications to the real world, then I believe a significant percentage of people will not abandon it, because of empathy.

    I personally would only live an alternative reality if there was no one I love back in the real world anymore, or if I were to die.

    As for virtual reality in the realm of possibilities, there will always be something missing, as addictive as it may be, so there will always be something to bring you back to reality

    As for just trying it, hell yeah! As long as there are no negative consequences physically that I know of before hand.
