By all means, I see your point and agree in general. But VR is not different from sitting at a desk.
I think we already live in some, not so healthy, virtual realities: online echo chambers, search engine/filter bubbles, ideologies perceived as normality.
In more extreme cases, anti-science and anti-intellectualist movements and so on.
But this is not a tech problem.

You can still go out for a hike. VR is not different from being inside a building.
> fresh air
No snark intended: you can open a window or have a heat exchanger with filters that is better for your health, comfort and energy usage.
- brightstep 5y agoIt seems different to me. To be completely visually (and maybe auditorally) detached from your physical surroundings for hours each day? That's a step beyond working at a desk, even one in a drab office building. Though point taken, being stuck at a cubicle isn't much better than being strapped into a headset.
