i think vr is escapism to a place where we can be anything and do things we normally wouldn't do irl for reasons, so yeah kind of a bandaid to a set of larger issues
but i think amish communities prove that even if we were to return to simpler lifestyle there would still be people who would just want to go back to "civilization", the fact that we aren't flocking in droves to live in amish like communities shows that once we wanted this but not like this
it's a hard issue to fix but who knows what possibilities future holds on how to tackle that i just pray we don't hit a cyberpunk dystopia along the way
