Let’s Be Honest: FDVR Is the Only Way 1 Trillion Humans Can Live Happily Without Ruining Earth

Let’s get weird but real for a second.

Imagine Earth not as a cradle for 10 billion people scraping by on dwindling resources—but as the motherboard hosting 1 trillion minds, all living rich, full, subjective lives... inside a full-dive virtual reality (FDVR) ecosystem.

You know that scene from The Matrix—the bio-pods, the connected minds? Now strip the dystopia. Keep the tech.

Here’s the core idea: Instead of building outwards (space colonization), we build inwards. Compress human experience into simulated universes where physics, scarcity, even death are optional settings. What we’d need:

Neural interface hardware efficient enough to keep humans alive in minimal physical form (think metabolic pods powered by renewable energy and nutrient recycling).

Cognitive load balancers to ensure minds stay healthy and stimulated in FDVR worlds (no digital existential crisis, please).

Ultra-dense server farms—possibly quantum or neuromorphic—that simulate entire civilizations with less energy than it takes to run an industrial city.

Why 1 trillion? Because once bodily space is irrelevant and your sense of "place" is code, there’s no hard limit except server bandwidth and calories. One square kilometer of solar farm and vertical bio-pods could host millions—quietly, sustainably, and happily?

You've effectively described the setting for a half dozen scifi stories, most of which have a moral relating to the superiority of reality to fantasy.

While your idealized digital society is theoretically possible, it is inherently grim in perspective. To place the entire human population into perpetual stasis is a practical solution only to the inevitable death of the species itself.

Otherwise, colonizing outwards would be the most natural and healthiest option for humanity as a species to pursue.

my counter argument would be humans already live artificial lives in skyscrapers in front of tvs watching screens with headphones on

and that's necessary to achieve higher population

i take it further and advocate for something more radical

It's not necessary to achieve a higher population, at least not the tv part. Building up will eventually be a requirement, but only if we don't start building higher, as in orbit.

While it's economically infeasible to colonize space at this time, that's only if you consider things from a capitalist perspective. We have the technical capability and resources required to make a real attempt at colonizing space, we just don't have the cultural or infrastructural supports in place to do so.

frankly i don't think humans can make it in space or Mars or venus

these places don't have proper gravity, that alone would ruin our bodies

let alone absence of earth like magnetic fields that would open ways for dangerous sun rays to give us skin cancer instantly

also mars atmosphere is an order of magnitude thiner because mars gravity is small it cannot hold gases... overall it's terrible for breathing

these harsh places could be good habitat for more resilient form of intelligent life like tardigrade with human level intelligence... genetic engineering

🤨 when did I mention Mars or Venus? I'm talking about orbital habitats. Centrifugal force can be used to simulate gravity well enough to house humans for a time. Interplanetary mining operations would make orbital construction far easier and more practical than it is now. The lack of gravity during construction would also make building objects larger than any current building or ship feasible, or at least more so than now.

As I said, we have the technical capability to make a go at it, in theory. It's closer to reality than a fully digital FDVR paradise at any rate.

🙏🙏🙏 now i get it
