Perhaps they have lost faith in this world and wish to create an better, virtual world instead. Which save-the-world problems are you talking about exactly? It seems to me that most of the "save the world" problems are political problems that require a human solution as opposed to a technical one.
- zimpenfish 12y agoI would agree - things like global poverty, hunger, climate change, terrorism, malaria, AIDS, etc., all require high-level inter-governmental willing and cooperation. (Now, to be fair, some of those also involve technical solutions but generally also of the governmental level of investment.)
- gress 12y agoBy 'lost faith in this world', you mean they don't understand how to solve the problems they see. If they don't understand how the solve the problems of this world, what makes them think they'll be able solve the problems of the virtual world they create?
- TuringTest 12y agoYou can change the rules of physics in a virtual world. That may help a lot in finding ways to solve problems.
- gress 12y agoAre human conflicts solvable by changing the laws of physics?
