Hmmmm..

My own view: -Separation is very, very bad. I'd be somewhat OK with reality becoming subjective but with some kind of interface between people but this whole scenario as stated is approaching the collapse civilization so we can't FOOM level. My personal reaction to seeing this described as better than status quo was somewhat similar to playing Mass Effect and listening to Reapers talk about 'salvation through destruction' and ascension in the form of perpetually genocidal robo-squids. I mean seriously? 'All your friends are actually p-zombies?' Are you kidding me? /rant

Living in highest possible world for me is not a value but having access or interface or something to the highest possible world is. (Not particularly high.) But knowing the truth definitely is and having my friends actually be people also is. Would prefer just being separated from friends and given Verthandi (I.e. sentient people, but optimized) like in Failed Utopia 2-4.
