    Ah yes, the ever popular “I’ve never experienced it, so it doesn’t exist” argument.

      Where did I make that arguement.

      VR is not the real world. It’s not the holiday so you can’t turn off safety protocols to simulate real world threats.

        When I play a shooting game in VR I don’t think I’m going to die, I do not experience fear. Any claims along those lines are at best overstated and at worst straight up lies.

        Did you forget to read your own comment? Because this is you saying that the study is wrong because of your limited personal experience, which no one cares about.

        Your anecdote does not invalidate data

        Who cares what you experience in the context of this study? Why is your input here useful in the context of the discussion? What does this statement add? Why did you say this? Why would anyone here want to know this?

          He assumes that the feelings were not real because he doesn’t have feelings in VR. If true for everybody that would invalidate the results.

          Too many layers of ego death for him to answer that (it’s obviously a dude with that level of self-centered ignorance).
