You still don't get it. I don't mean virtual reality. I mean a full-on "Matrix", to put it in terms you are more likely to understand. Every function of our body will be digitally simulated, and it would be impossible to differentiate this simulated world from the "real" world. That is to say, if you closed your eyes and were told you'd be either kept in the real world or be transferred to the simulated world, you'd have precisely a 50% chance of guessing whether you are in the real world or not, no matter how much time I give you to explore the world that you are in. Btw, none of this will be done through "VR glasses" or whatever - either the human brain itself will be digitally recreated, or the neurons in the real human brains will be manipulated in such a way as to produce the experience of being in the virtual world. There won't be any nutritional needs in such a world.
If you don't want to read my previous comment, here is a short summary: basically, for every thing that you claim is impossible to ever produce, I provide a link to a real-world example such a thing that exists today. Towards the end, I also explain how your thinking is linear, while progress is super-exponential (faster than exponential), meaning that 100 years in your understanding are actually 20,000 real-life years, while 1000 years in your understanding are 10,000,000 real-life years. I conclude by saying that you'd probably agree with me that your job may become automated in 20,000 years, which translates to 100 actual years, which matches up with my prediction that the world will become fully automated in ~100 years. That's it.
Not pointing fingers at anyone, but I think Dunning-Kruger effect might be a factor here. If you could just open your mind up to the possibility that I just might have a point (even if I don't) and try to genuinely understand what I'm saying, we could have an interesting conversation instead of the time sink that part of this thread kind of was. Anyway, you do you. Have a great day!
Humanity will invariably reach a state of utopia in at most 200 years
