If you live in a polluted dystopian hive, alienated from those around you, tuning it all out by strapping a facebook appliance to your head sounds maladaptive even in the immediate short term.
I don't think setups like I described warrant "a polluted dystopian hive, alienated from those around you". I'm a human being. Not sure how to respond in a way that moves the conversation forward though. A VR workspace can be a huge relief from distractions. Perhaps a more relatable setting is an open office, surrounded by colleagues, and being able to instead flip a switch and be in a remote work setting in VR.
If you go back and read what you described and don’t see the dystopia, your standards are probably too low.
