I watched Neon Genesis Evangelion where NERV, basically wanted a perfect world where they merged everyone, while it seems like heaven the whole concept is euphemism for suicide.

You don't get it. We are talking about a world with flaws where you are desired and perceived as valuable.

You don't get the one tenth of fame and fortune that certain people get.

So instead of wishing for constant pleasure as you put it, why not create a world that is flawed, terrible even and make yourself the “one”.

Video games and films follow the same logic, it's not about fairness, it's about being a head of the curve.

You could balance the world out the same way a game like Fallout is balanced. There you go.

You kill far more foes in Fallout than they kill you. You are infinitely more important than some other NPCs.

John Wick does more harm than done to him.

Some people have more success than others with no drawbacks.

It's all about the non player characters and the role they play in the story for you or our entertainment, just like it is a hierarchy in real life.

Think of the philosophical zombie. They say that they fell pleasure, you believe them and that gives pleasure to you while in reality they felt nothing just like the programming intended.

That is true, but this mainly happens because of limitations in their respective media formats. If you were to simulate an entire world it would be pretty easy to make the player just another schmuck in a long line of schmucks. The advantages are up to you.

Well, give an option and we will make a conclusion. If I want Gothic or Skyrim. Or what about adjusted difficulty slider that you are not aware of ? Some people call it God's plan, so why rationalize it like that?

That's the point.

Become god in your own realm and rule as you see fit.

I will give you right in a world that could better than it is right now, though I would like a world where both sides would exist with other people, sure I agree that some people live unfair lives in this world no denying that, but that world is who makes us who we are. Myself have been bullied through my childhood with a poor drug addicted mom who never cared for same with my dad, of course I would have been better off with perfect parents, but that wouldn't be me.

We just have to be careful for what we wish for.

What are the benefits of this "me"?

You define your world through suffering and scarcity, and when something good happens, you either become arrogant or afraid of taking it in?

What is the value of your face or ideas if it is just a select combination of phenotypes and ideas that you heard from a friend or family member.

And don't get me started on the prenatal development that you can't even alter because your consciousness has not yet developed.

So I ask again, why stay in this preplanned life when you could give in to the possibility of something far more flexible?
