Yeah, but that's probably how it is gonna be, and those things... It would be a bad idea to do then in real life.
If what you meant with your post was that we should not abandon the real world, well...Honestly I'm not sure if that will be that much of a risk.
Will we want that?
I'm more worried about indirect things, like if we will in the end ignore human contact.

>It's like when people try to fill a void in their heart with things, rather than meaningful experiences with people.

What is meaningful and what is not? I'm not asking as a joke, in fact I'm not even asking you, I'm just asking to emphasize that we don't know.
Most people think about achievements, but let's be real, most people die without any great achievement.
A lot of people think about their family and offspring. Well, biologicaly this makes sense, but probably with inmortal lives it can get weird. (Maybe we keep expanding our numbers and fill the universe of humans...but it's hard to picture families staying together with hundreds of generations alive)

Friends? Human contact? Well, maybe. I don't like the idea of a future with much less human contact, but certainly see it as a posibility.
A lot of people think about their job. I can understand someone working on some fields saying that, but come on. Most people work on jobs that they hate...
I'm not sure of how we will feel that we are living meaningful lives. Maybe we won't, but maybe we will notice not because we have lost our meaning, but because we have more time to pay attention.
But I don't see what VR has do to with most of that.

I think that the real risk is continue to have human contact, or not.

​

Honestly, I'm a bit worried about future generations born after this. Will they attend schools with other humans?

I mean, I want to experience a VR where I can do whatever I desire, but I think that without a real world with boundaries and limits is probably needed for a healthy mind, specially in the first years of our lives.

The contact with other beings that we have to respect it's probably something very healthy.

Future young people is gonna kill me, but we should probably heavily restrict a lot the use of VR under 18 or 16 or something...
