Until we have an actual holodeck, virtual reality will be an impoverished shadow of actual life, and I really wish people would stop promoting the idea that it’s some kind of goal; to interact with and consume signals instead of experiencing life in your own skin.
Even a perfect holodeck is a weak stand-in. Without risk there is no texture to life.
Harmful things are harmful, and if sold to the unsuspecting public, should ideally be sold as such.
This is off topic, but one of the problems with “free market capitalism“ arguments is that “free market capitalism” is exactly what we have right now, with all of the attendant problems.
If you move up a level, you eventually get to the supernational level, in which there are no entities to enforce regulations and we have global calvinball.
The free market of ideas itself dictates increasing layers of regulation moving downward. Totally Free markets are only possible in an absolute vacuum of power. Every “free market” scenario implies an externalization of regulatory power and cost in order to preserve it.
Without that it is just who has the biggest stick, a “free market“ of coercive force.
Having this more mobile would certainly help.
