| True, I suppose in future it would be possible to develop such "pods" to become self-sufficient. Of course, you still get fierce independent minded individuals who want to get out of their pod into the strange new world (which I believe will revert back to the stone age forests). But mostly everyone will be happy in their virtual world.
Even businesses would end after making those pods - since they have no need to function anymore.
Of course, the problem is if some alien race invades us and we end up becoming their slaves...or if we tear ourselves apart in civil war before the pods are invented.
On the anarchism comment, well think about it - a world without law and order is free and equal. Everyone is equal; you start off with your clothes and whatever guns you can find. From then you grow as you like. Everyone is obviously free - no police force, so its survival of the fittest.
Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you. |
