Discussion Synthetic suicide, the death that everybody of us was waiting for

[Whale_bones]

Well, I had the chance to try it, falling from a 40+ stories building. I did it multiple times.

I'm glad that you feel less suicidal if that's what you wanted, but wasn't your original post about about experiencing death through an android that's "100% a copy of you" with a perfectly real environment, sensations as real as they are now, etc? I'd say that's very far away from our current technology of putting on a VR headset.

this sounds like sleep?

I don't live in a VR world. I have to live in the real world. The real world is where the problem(s) exist. Trying to satiate myself, my real self, with some concocted, made-up death in a fantasy world, just isn't going to cut it.

Suicidal people aren't chasing the experience of death, this is missing the pont profoundly.
