This would be bad for me. Why the fuck would you ever want to leave your own ideal utopia?

Diabolo96 ,

It would be like drugs. The dealers won’t consume but they’ll make you pay the highest price to satisfy that urge. The urge of living a perfect life. You’ll save years of money for juste a few weeks in utopia. Loving and loved, happy and care free.

Because it gets boring after a while. You start itching for real adventure.

It’s the entire reason Starfleet exists. It’s a bunch of holodeck junkies who’ve burned themselves out on fictional fantasy, now they have to go around the universe looking for the most dangerous shit imaginable just to feel alive.

These guys have burned through two hundred years of fiction in the holodeck, which is why you see them going through stories that hit public domain 40 years ago to us

It’s why no one was really phased by Tasha’s death, except for maybe Data and he basically lives in a holodeck simulation.

They beam down to planets completely unprotected and nearly die every week! Send a scouting party first? What, and let them have all the fun? Hell no send the senior officers, they’ve been at this long enough they deserve a good death.

Worf gets his ass handed to him time and time again, not because they’re good at fighting, but because it’s more challenging to lose first.

At one point everyone gets their memories wiped and Worf talks his way in to being Captain. I’m convinced what actually happened was everyone was bored that week and they all just played ‘yes and’ until it got interesting.

Because the holodeck has spoiled their sense of adventure

Holodecks are a terrifying technology.
Imagine your friends beam you into a running program while you are sleeping.
Everybody, when something out of the ordinary happens, would at first say: ”Computer, stop program!”

Tom Scott once made a video exploring a similar hypothetical scenario, only without the “stop program” option

I have to believe an experienced holodeck user would be able to detect some of the telltale signs pretty easily. Like replicated food, if you see it enough you probably notice “holodeck vase #5” showing up scattered around the background of scenes as clutter. Or even minor visual distortions where it switches from 3d to the false horizon.

CyberEgg ,

I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I randomly rewatched ‘Ship in a Bottle’ and even Data only recognizes they’re still in a simulation due to a blank transporter log. No visual clues, no glitch in the matrix, an empty log that could have been empty for any other reason.

Wtf? Take a breather, Janeway.
