That seems quite likely for a Matrix like world though? If it gets better and better quality/experience with the end results holodecks/cortex plugs/etc and I can, without worrying about disease or money or dying or pregnancy in the virtual world, have 1000s of computer generated perfect mates doing whatever, would the vast majority of people still go outside or do anything meaningful at all? With gaming and porn and 'social' media we are already seeing some of that, but if it gets better, why would people do anything else?

What'd you think the killer app for Neuralink was gonna be? Just joking, of course

i'm all for it as long as it enables us to stop consuming every last drop of life on this planet
