real is what I believe exists, and that exists by itself and for itself. Even if a full dive vr system was developed that would alter your brain so that you truly believed the things you saw existed in this way, the illusion would be broken when I left the simulation. Even if a full dive vr system was developed that you could stay in full time, I wouldn't want to be in it unless the rest of human society was also experiencing the same simulation and also believing it to be real, which would not happen for many centuries due to the natural human oposition to the concept

yeah we talked about that in the /sci/ thread, unfortunately DNA editing is apparently a long way off :(
>or transplantation of custom body parts grown in a lab
hadn't thought of that. but if that procedure wouldn't be the end goal of the technology, how would observing its results help us?
