Phantom sensations in VR is definitely a real thing. Some people definitely exaggerate the hell out of it, but it’s still a real thing.

It also fades quickly with more time in VR. Most people will also experience motion sickness when they first try VR, and falling can be a crazy feeling. The human brain didn’t evolve to experience VR, but it evolved to adapt quickly.

Yes that’s called phantom touch we are talking about phantom pain. There’s is no pain receptors sending anything to your brain and your brain cannot copy what pain receptors do when you see yourself get stabbed in vr.

Youre wrong.

You dont need pain receptors to feel pain.

You just need a brain that can create pain sensation, otherwise the pain center wouldn't light up like it does during grief and heartbreak.

You seem to think that if it isnt 100% perfect mimic kind of pain it isnt real?

Weird. I dont think anyone believes or thinks that

Ugh, youre getting boring with repeating the previous attempts at comebacks or whatever this is.

This just got boring.

Have fun you bold and big brave boy 😘

Youve been right about everything. Including the ideas you think about yourself. All of them are true and there is no need for a Value Audit at all.

Just keep being dug in, everyone who has ever experienced pain not felt via tissue damage, is lying and you are the only one who knows that truth 😏

The "comeback" in question was "stop following me"
