I'd be interested in hearing more about this. I've personally entertained similar scenarios involving a sort of mass shared dreamnet, which is likely not even possible, but if it were possible and taken to its' extremes, could potentially result in a sort of extreme utopian existence or heaven. So more of a thought experiment than seriously considering such a thing as possible, but I concluded that even if I could actualize such a thing, I wouldn't choose to proceed because I couldn't find a way around the creation of these heavens also resulting in the creation of hells.
I've mostly put such thoughts aside, as from my perspective similar realities will inevitably be actualized via alternative means, given enough time, because of future tech. Specifically with advancements in AI, VR, brain/machine UI, etc. I'm powerless to prevent such things, and can only hope it turns out for the best.
