The Universe of the Federation in Star Trek. I might be critical of the the whole utopian concept of society . But in all honesty, Id like to live in that universe, anyone would.

Society would cease to function if we had real holodecks. Nobody would ever leave them.

Society would cease to function if we had real holodecks.

Same maybe applies if there was
a: Safe realistic cheap immersive VR
b: Safe cheap drugs (combining Ecstasy, LSD, Opium / Heroin / Cocaine / Alcohol / Caffeine) with no side effects and not illegal.

If not, then a Holodeck isn't a problem. However the idea is a physical nonsense. A VR system + a suitable drug is real physics and could be 100% realistic. A Holodeck as per Star Trek isn't possible, Tad Williams's VR World is at least theoretically possible.
