Re: Ethical problem: artificial transcendence
it will be addictive. All feelings are chemical... I imagine if we had the power to produce those chemicals nonstop, that we could develop dependency, and crash to a dibilitating depression without it. It would be like a drug, and I imagine you could lose your ability to have a full array of emotions.

Been watching too much Total Recall?
Really though this is interesting. If nobody has seen the movie, Total Recall, it's a whole lot like this. You go to a company called Recall and they implant thoughts and feelings into your brain. Lets say I want to go to Hawaii and as I'm there they're doing a shoot for Playboy and one of the models falls for me and we spend the entire week together. You live that experience the way you want it because Recall implants it into your brain. Once you leave you remember everything as if it actually happened. There is a problem though as like in the movie. What's to stop people from putting other thoughts and feelings into your brain? Not good ones but ones to cover up who you really are or to make you think you're somebody you're not?

Re: Ethical problem: artificial transcendence
i agree with rick, it'd be exactly like a drug. it's just an artificial sort of thing instead, and i'm sure happiness or other experiences it could offer would be highly addictive to some people. being able to make "living in a fantasy world" come true wouldn't be good. we have reality for a reason
