It may be the case that we just crave variety.
If I am scrolling hacker news, and someone opened a portal to the Australian outback, I’d probably put down HN (sorry, folks) and crawl through the portal to hang out for a bit.
I lived on a beach for years and in a big city for several, and in each place I craved the other.

Which will, of course, be a fun VR diversion when the fully immersive video capture is accessible enough.
- mcswell 6y agoI lived among a group of Mayan Indians for six months once. It was the most boring experience of my life. The next time I was in a similar situation, I packed several very dense non-fiction books to satisfy my intellectual hunger. (This was long before the Internet, even before the Arpanet.) I should add that it wasn't the Indians' fault, they were very nice neighbors. But there's only so much I can say or hear about corn farming.
