> Say that we actually give up on reality and fully shift our attention to virtual worlds. How would you find a real person to marry? Do we still need houses, or just dark rooms with computers? Do we make babies in test tubes? Do we still have to exercise? Does it matter? It matters because somebody still has to build and peovision datacenters and defend them and the borders of the country. If (reduction to absurdity) nobody ever leaves home it's going to be easy to pillage infrastructure or even people. Furthermore our bodies don't react well at sitting down all day long, every single day. Does anybody have that kind of health data about Japanese hikikomori? And of course extinction.
