Infinite Tsukuyomi dream world where there is no freedom but there's happiness through fake images and experiences.

Or

Zombie apocalypse world(like The Walking Dead) where all friends and family slowly dwindle, yet this world has individual freedom and civil rights.

Eh, what are you asking?
Would you like to live in a world where there is infinite happiness and you live forever being happy
OR
A world with sadness and pain?

Dream >>>> Reality, as long as you're happy, it doesn't matter whether it's a dream or not.

Exactly!

My other thread asked is fake peace better than no peace. Many opted for no peace and yet this example is a perfect counter, showing a case where no peace is far worse than fake peace.

Zombie apocalypse. Only the weak minded would rather settle for a false reality than to have the strength to deal with actuality. I would kill every zombie until i have killed them all or died. But i would try to make this hell better for the next person who has to go through it. so they can do the same and eventually if the effort is noticed and many others who are also tired of the same hell can work together and create a better place.


But some people will settle for false happiness.

If you have ever seen the Walking Dead, you'll know the horror I'm talking about. It's worse than anything humans have ever gone through and can only exist in fiction because it's so horrible it just can't happen in reality.

I do this

You must be registered for see images



The reason they fight every day to survive is the hope of it being normal again. so i would only do the same. thats just me.

What they have gone though should have driven them insane. They would have severe PTSD alone with severe depression.

However, the creator of the show didn't know this basic fact about psychology.

oh, btw, there is no hope in that world no matter how they persevere. That's the whole theme of Walking Dead.

Really? Even in a world where people are driven insane by the horrors of watching their close ones eaten alive?

We're comparing a worthless hell to a legitimant means of escape.


It's the same reason why we put down teminally sick animals than to let them end horrically, or that some cancer patients are allowed to suicide without shame.

^^I can partially agree with this. The satisfaction of achieving something through hard work is the greatest happiness ever.

We won't feel something like it when we were just spoon fed with false happiness.

For the thread's question, personally yeah, I'd prefer the IT world, because I'm powerless. Nevertheless, zombie apocalypse won't happen.

Of course, in the Zombie world there is no hope at all.


So its not a matter of chosing reality at all costs.

I get your point

You are right to some extent U_U

hows this a perfect counter your trying to pick the worst case scenario and compare it to something supposedly better its like me saying would you rather drink this imaginary water or this poisoned water

a better comparison would be, would you rather be with the person you love the most in a real world with real problems or be with them in an imaginary world where everything goes perfect?

Because NV world is utter shit and Kishi still is trying to say that the real world is better. That world is without hope, much like the Walking Dead world. Not as gory but just as damaging.
