But I don’t think it’s too far fetched. Imagine a VR system that doesn’t require wearing a helmet and can be displayed in physical space. And/or a Matrix-style direct jack into the brain. Any environment you can think of, easily accessible. Doesn’t seem that bad to me.
Beyond that, A lot of people already spend 10+ hours staring at screens here on Earth...

- keiferski 5y agoObviously we are speculating here, but projecting current tech 300-400 years into the future, it doesn’t seem that absurd to me. And don’t forget that you’d be in space with tons of other colonists too.
