Think of how real other fake things we like are: bleach blone hair with dark roots showing (men still go for it), silicone boobs, fake nails, men's hair dye, fake tans, bras that make boobs look pointy.... People still use them and many other people still find the fakeness more attractive than the original state of things. Its the greater potential for controlling the population that scares me. yes, there are many morons, but sometimes we need their numbers to help keep authority figures (tyranny of any kind) in check. When people live outside of reality, they rarely participate fully in meaningful activities outside of their jobs. VR sounds like soma to me, a way to placate the dumb-masses (dumb asses).
