Continuing on the simulated univers thread...
Followup to the question I asked in my previous post (http://alexandra-thorn.dreamwidth.org/48698.html):
In the same hypothetical post-mortality simulated universe scenario, what sort of world do you imagine you'd end up creating for yourself?
Something like your current existence only a bit better (maybe by removing physical ailments, unpleasant surprises, or similar)? Something different but still engaging with a simulation of a physical world (superpowers, maybe)? A disembodied existence where you deal only with abstractions, or directly interface with other minds? Something else entirely?

How did you know? This plus recreational corporality for eating, drinking, fucking, and making music.
It's been 40 some odd years now, and I still haven't entirely reconciled to being instantiated in matter, despite its occasional charms.
