I sometimes fear I shouldn’t play driving games too much, so that I don’t get desensitised against those intrusive thoughts I sometimes get on the road. I wonder how irrational that actually is, because it feels like pretty much the same thing as your idea. I mean it doesn’t seem far fetched that a very realistic VR driving simulation with subtly “easier” physics might make you a worse driver in reality. More closely related to the fear of heights, we also jump from greater heights in video games than we would in real life, and much more frequently. I practically never have a reason to jump down from anywhere, so I could imagine making some wrong estimations when, after years of doing it in VR, I’m somehow faced with a real-life situation.
