Here is what a typical person has for a life in THS

John Sanchez 32 American

A rarity John has a Mother, Betty (age 75) and a father Tomas (age 80) both retired. Tom used to own an export company. At 45, a youngish age Betty got pregnant and in a surpirse move had the baby in the old fashioned way.

John is genefixed though fully baseline human and has no reproductive rights issues

John, like most people globally is an only child.

he attended a Virtual public School system and upon graduation
was VR educated at US Nationalonline University (a free school) with adegree in Structuralism and Memetics. He is tri lingual speaking Spanglish (the default US laguage) English and Latin American Spanish. He is learning French.

Unable to find work (his creative index is too low) an having no client base John is on the dole.

The provides him with a decent apartment (he lives in California BTW) and becuase of his spartan lifestle a substantial savings

The lifetsyle called "elective virtual minimalism" is very popular in 4th and 5ht wave nations. Its tennets are "use little, own little, live online"

It is opposed by a memtic campaign from a number of major coporations and some governments who are attempting to increase reproduction and consumption.

This campaign is failing do to filteration by software

The filteration is aopposed by another meme campign, th open minds movement, also failing do to a counter campaign against so called brainwashing --

John owns virtuallly nothing --a chair, a table ,a bed, vr rig, and a few bit of this and that

He does not cook instead eating self heating meals.

he does not own a vehicle

His schedule (set up by the house brain) looks like this

Rise 7:00 AM

Morning Shower and Stretch till 7:15 not John niether needs to shave nor needs to brush his teeth. He sports elective baldness though this look is not univeral

Dress: This is optional -- his avatar might have clothes, John has only a few for special occasions.

Breakfast -- whatver, its soy based, tastes good and is self heating. Open, wait and eat. His may contain appetite supressants as well as nuticuticals

VR, Education or Info Hunting till Lunch

Lunch and an exercise break

VR till Dinner

rinse repeat

John will go out a few times a year, mainly special occasions or necessary appointments. If John runs out of tacos or something and is hungry betwene deliveries he might go to a vendor though this is rare.

Shopping is done in VR space with tactile gloves and automated dispatch robots. Food is delivered this way as well -- Order placed -- Money debited -- order sent -- John picks it up outside the door

Odds are his friends are all virtual -- some are human, many are programs. He has never seen any of them in meat space.

Also ona personal note, John has never had sex in meat space and may find the idea revolting.

He has no immediate plans for any familiy although he may see his parents on a regular basis in VR

On clinical not John does not have agarophobia -- he simply rarely needs ot leave home since home is furfilling and safe.

What do you think?
