Quantum physicists will tell you that there is fundamentally no difference between the real and digital worlds, and of course they are probably correct, but there is a difference between What We Know and How We Live. When we are online, it *feels* different to how it feels to be walking down the street during a thunderstorm or picking apples in an orchard in late summer. A physicist might tell you that is because the information content of the ‘real world’ is so much greater than it is online and processing that information is what makes it ‘feel’ different.
