So, we live forever in a virtual reality? You would still need physical bodies to maintain the equipment creating this virtual world.
How are these people supposed to live when the air becomes toxic in a few decades?
VR will not save the human race. Only real action, starting about twenty years ago, could have.
If what the website claims is true and possible, they will be saving the planet AND achieve digital immortality at the same time. The question, however, is
how are they planning to achieve that? Because we all know how virtual reality works, and for it to work, we still need our bodies functioning. Are we going to be put in some pods with VR headsets plugged into our heads? Or do we have to give up our lives and have our minds/consciousness synced into a computer? If this works, it could change our lives, but for now... it's a bit hard to believe it true and possible, right?
