    “let the machines” is the problem. They decide how it all works, and what it’s for. If there was an opt-in virtual world, with an independently certified logging out option, maybe manually checking in with everyone at regular intervals, then probably a whole lot of people would choose to be there.

      Black Mirror’s San Junipero was an example of an opt-in and a rare good ending.

        Yeah, that’s why I don’t watch that show.

            It boils down to saccharine American episodes or “what it tech, but too much?!”

              Lol, I didn’t even say it was bad. I think it’s an alright show. I just don’t think it’s especially poignant or anything.

      Isn’t that how the matrix 3 ends?

      I was super drunk when I watched it but I feel like that’s the compromise they reached

        From what I remember it ends with Doogie Houser saying “lol jk go do whatever you want” and then fly away.
