I think of reincarnation as a connection to the multiverse. Even if you and I didn’t exist in this realm, we would exist in another. I don’t think there is anyway to alleviate suffering forever sadly for every being in the universe. That being said, both heaven and hell are states of consciousness and do not last forever. When the singularity arrives, hopefully we will have everyone happy and atleast “rich” in their virtual worlds. Virtual beings will suffer too tho so I digress. Anyway the point is, hopefully our transcedence helps more than it hurts but that too will be subjective to every human being. FDVR will have capabilities to put you in a hell and heaven state subject to the thinkers perspectives at the time of analyzing their state of consciousness. Whenever we play call of duty or battlefield or any other war game, you will reincarnate aka respawn into another body to keep playing the game unless you quit to the home menu lol.

You can’t stop it for everyone, but you can do it for as many people as you possibly can. I put the eradication of people’s pain as a top priority.

A video game is also different, because in a video game you don’t feel pain, you don’t have your limbs blown off, and you retain all your knowledge, you can pause the game, or you could just go to the main menu and quit easily. The only equivalent to that in real life is a bullet through your brain for a lot of people, imagine growing up as a kid in Somalia having to drink out of water infested with cow shit, that’s horrible and that child has no way out of that nightmare barring taking their own life. That is why alleviating that kind of pain is pivotal.

I believe in giving sentient beings complete and total control, and to be untethered to a single form is exactly how you do that.
