Why trying to fully replicate the real world ? If you're presented a less than perfect virtual reality as the available reality as soon as you're born, that'll be your reality.
- shanelja 14y agoI'm unsure of whether you're correct, our bodies are designed to be in this reality and this is (presumably) what feels most natural to us. I think it falls down to genetic memory, the idea that we inherit parts of our subconscious self from our ancestors. We would know the world is not real, just as you know your skin should not be made from potato peels, it would be a natural and instinctive reaction to instantly realise if this was to change. Unless of course, I'm perfectly wrong, perhaps living inside of a Matrix style computer program which dictates everything I do and me telling you this is all some control method for the masses to stop you eventually inventing this system. It's lucky it's Halloween, because when you think about it conspiratorially, it's kind of spooky.

I've believed all sorts of utterly incorrect things about myself and my reality while i've been dreaming, and not noticed the fluid nature of that experience until i woke up -- but that's because I had another state to wake up to, and some structure or system in my brain that differentiates between dreaming and waking stimuli, and prioritizes the latter over the former. Genetics can be altered, and with them, what the brain expects to be real.
