if artificial experience is the pinnacle of human evolution then how long until humans are kept in 'The Matrix' style pods where we live out our lives in a computer simulation. some examples of artificial experience include recorded music, artificial food ingredients, makeup, and online chatting. even our everyday lives are completely artificial. for example how is it a piece of cloth cut and sewn and worn one way can have so much meaning behind it compared to another piece of cloth i.e. a uniform or suit compared to a t-shirt and jeans. it is all cloth so why the big deal? they are artificial ideas. you live in that fake outline of a country and i live in this fake outline of a country and because of that i hate you. a line drawn in an atlas is artificial. on a globe you never walk into a border, you just keep circling it until you decide to stop. yes oceans and mountains exist but there are no thick black lines. take a look at earth and another. and i say that artificial experience is the pinnacle of human evolution because that is what our history and lifestyles are heading towards. they already invented fake dog robots. what next? i am not necessarily saying an artificial lifestyle is a bad thing but it is something to wonder about and wonder how far will it go.
