Forgive me, as I'm a tad drunk. Still doesn't detract from my point.
I live a mostly digital existence. I work from home doing a wide variety of CS work (DevOps, Software Dev, Web Dev, Pentesting, etc…), which means I probably spend 80% of my waking hours in front of a computer. The other 20% is spent eating, bathing/using bathroom, and shopping when necessary. I feel like most people in my situation would grow tired of screens and begin to hate this lifestyle, but I just find myself yearning for more.
What I mean is, I find myself wanting to live exclusively (as possible) online. Maybe this isn't normal, but I'm not sure that I fucking care, really. I've recently become more active in the Transhumanism movement, so my focus has really shifted towards a more virtualized lifestyle.
I want to know.. do any of you live this way? Or, at least, feel the same longing?
Thanks :)

>>1360I totally feel you, my ideal existence is to have a decent apartment, maybe a treadmill to stay healthy, work when I feel like it doing freelance programming, web design, or pen-testing. But beyond that just basically never leave, I just feel so burnt out by society. It's not that I don't want to ever interact with people, I could grab dinner with some friends once in a blue-moon, but all I really want out of life is to use my brain to solve problems and make enough to justify being left alone.

Same. An online existence would be so much more convenient. I can imagine myself being locked up in front of a computer screen for most of my life, and I don't find anything particularly wrong with it. Although, if could have my consciousness uploaded onto a computer, I probably wouldn't follow through with it.
