I've gone on some irl outings/events recently and I couldn't help feeling the whole time that it was all a hassle that'd be way easier in VR. It's weird but I never really thought about it in context of alternatives because none really existed. 
When you go out there's all kinds of prep work that goes in getting ready, then planning, and then there's the actual money involved to be able do something. Whereas with VR you can just jack in and go anywhere anytime for free. People in VR are almost univerally easier to approach and talk to as people tend to not have their personal guards up so much when it comes to strangers. The content is seemingly endless in size and scope, even then if it sucks you can instantly teleport into an entirely new experience. In real life your stuck and it probably took a while to get there in the first place.

What's the actual benefit for meatspace interaction at this point? Sure it's still higher fidelity for now but it really feels like for the most part interaction in VR captures enough to simulate the full experience. Am I just too far detached from the real world for thinking this?
