unless it's a self-insert? or do you reckon even then it'll be a lofi simulation, because there real world input is absent and the physics/social aspect is still being simulated?
- jdietrich 2y agoHumans just aren't very good at understanding their own motivations. Marketers know this implicitly. Almost nobody believes "I drink Coca-Cola because billions of dollars of advertising have conditioned me to associate Coke with positive feelings on a subconscious level", even if they would recognise that as a completely plausible explanation for why other people like Coca-Cola.
