It suggests that freedom in VR is perceived as the desire for superiority over natural, spiritual, and social principles. The author argues that VR offers individuals the opportunity to challenge established norms and categorical thinking, presenting freedom as an expression of personal power and autonomy over societal expectations. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
