I don't see many examples of that being discussed as a threat to humanity but it sure feels like it is to me. Primarily as it's the slow creep of technological advancement from 2D->3D->AR->(Full Fidelity) VR->Neuro immersion.
Agreed. I think one of the Great Filters should be "species invents fully immersive VR and spends the rest of their timeline on the couch because it's way more enjoyable than space travel."
