Reply to comment by vivehelpme in An ICU coma patient costs $600 a day, how much will it cost to live in the digital world and keep the body alive here? by just-a-dreamer-
The core principle of capitalism is competition. I see no value in competing to have a good life.
The nice beach is sought after by many people enjoying it. Most will bring more resources to the table than I can afford.
Thus I must go out and work to earn stores of value in competition for jobs to return to compete for nice things in life. That is wasted time and effort.
It makes more sense to get out of the game. The beach in the digital world will be the same experience, yet there is no competition for access, thus the same adventure is way cheaper.
Work shall be reduced to the bare minimum to max out the best experiences one can get his hands on.
I sincerly hope we can shut down our bodies to the bare minimum at low cost and live in the world we want to see happen. And if the body fails, who cares? It is better to die happy than dying miserable.
