Tell that to the women being raped in the streets and the European children who are now a minority being beaten at their schools. Tell that to the Europeans who are no longer welcome in their own neighborhoods because they have been taken over by these violent invaders.

Grown men who want to have sex with children are pretty disgusting. They claim that it's not their fault, it's just a sexual orientation, something they were born with that they cannot help so it should just be accepted. Well, some people were born with psychological impulses to murder people, should we just accept them too? No, we shouldn't. Murderers are harmful to society so we lock them up. Pedophiles are harmful too.
Pedophiles lust over the idea of taking advantage of people who have not yet matured to the point where they're capable of recognizing their own sexual orientation. They are sexual predators and taking advantage of children can be seriously traumatic. It can cause psychological damage to young developing minds. It is abuse. It is disgusting.

This is not a Muslim operation. This is not the Jihad. Some sand niggers on boats don't outsmart us to the point where we just let them fuck us into extinction. They have nothing to win here. Forget all that propaganda, brother. Germany fought the USA, Russia, France, Canada, England, Poland, The Netherlands, Belgium, You Name It, at the same damn time. 70 years later and we are on top again. War with us is not a good idea. Everybody knows that. Especially the people who are behind all of this, the jedis. Send a shitload of Arabs to Europe and show the people nothing but hate in the news 24/7 and let your enemies destroy eachother. Israel is only 68 years old. They never forgot. They never forgave.
I don't think you've been outsmarted, but I do think some bad choices have been made in the name of "progress", and yeah, maybe it's the jedis, maybe it's the Illuminati, maybe it's Alien beings from Hell, I really don't know or care, I just find it incredibly interesting and frightening. I honestly hope something comes out of this, I hope you and your country men do rise up and put a stop to this before it is too late, because right now it doesn't look like you're putting up much of a fight at all.

Of course there is a difference, you made an example of it yourself here: "… would you rather have to make brread from scratch or just go out to the store and buy it?"
Why did you pick the machine over reality? I don't want to speak for you, I don't know what your reason was because you didn't state one, but based on your bread metaphor I'm assuming you chose the machine because you're the sort of person who would rather go to the store to buy bread. In the machine you could enjoy whatever pleasures you wish without putting the actual work usually required to achieve them. That's a pretty large and obvious difference between the experience machine and reality.
Now I don't know if I can agree with you that people who would choose reality over the machine are being "held back" by their notion of what reality is. I don't know why some people would prefer reality over simulation, or to use your metaphor why they would prefer to bake their own bread, but I'm assuming that they enjoy putting in the effort. I don't know, maybe it makes them feel more human or something. I mean, there is this saying that "you are what you do," and there could be an argument made here that if you no longer are doing human things but are instead just some incomprehensible simulation of pure joy and pleasure, you're no longer really a human being. I suppose you would respond by saying something like "Well the people who think that are just being 'held back' by some made up notion of what a human is," and maybe you're right about that, maybe the whole concept of "being human" is just imagination, but is it really right to say they are being "held back" as if their notions are some sort of a weakness? Couldn't it just as easily be argued that you are being held back by some notion of "being held back" you've made up?

[SIZE=16px]The Death of Germany | European Migrant Crisis[/SIZE]
This is not just "immigration", this is a planned attack on the European nations. This is stealth jihad. They are once again invading the European countries just like they did during the crusades. They want to rape European women to replace European genetics. And don't for one hot minute believe that America is safe just because there is a big ocean in the way. They will come to America eventually and do the exact same thing. This is their plan to eradicate the West.

In a 2014 study, 320 children, ages 8–12, in both public and private schools, were given a Spiritual Well-Being Questionnaire assessing the correlation between spirituality and happiness. Spirituality – and not religious practices (praying, attending church services) – correlated positively with the child's happiness; the more spiritual the child was, the happier the child was. Spirituality accounted for about 3–26% of the variance in happiness.

The distinction you are trying to make is imaginary.
Then why do people choose one option over the other?
2/3 voters in this poll chose a simulation over reality. 1/3 chose reality. If there is no distinction between reality and simulation, why did these people make the choices they made?

If I sit to pee one more time I'm gonna be real mad at myself. I thought I needed to do my business but then it turns out all I could do was whizz like a wimp. Now I'm gonna take some good sniffs of dill while my drawers are still down and LOCK UP THE LATRINE for the evening.

What's the difference between people who would choose artificial reality and people who would choose reality?
On one hand we have people who would rather live in reality. If asked why they might tell us they want to do certain things, and not just have the experience of doing them. Maybe they want to be a certain sort of person, not some indeterminate blob floating in a hugbox. They might claim that the machine limits us to a man-made reality, it limits us to what we can make, there is no actual contact with any deeper reality.
On the other hand we have people who would rather live in the artificial reality. They might claim that they are incapable of achieving the experiences they want in the real world. They might claim their dreams are beyond their reach in the real world, but in an artificial reality they can become anything they want. They might claim that reality limits their experiences, while an artificial reality increases their potential experiences.
Who is closer to the truth? Which position is better?

Wow, the editing on this is actually really great, the creator could be a great propagandist. Of course this is purposely crafted to be racist, alarmist bullshit but that's part of the fun.
Are you some sort of apologist? Why is the rape of a nation acceptable in your opinion?

I feel like this internet thing is an early beta version of the machine you're talking about and I already prefer it over real life. Not really but when I'm honest it's probably true.
Just wait until this becomes a thing and they use it to build a super intelligent AI. Or maybe it already happened and we are already in it.
