   On the other hand, if we’re in a simulation, there’s no reason to think that we aren’t beings in the “real” physical world, playing a virtual reality game. From the perspective of this simulated world, we’re have a non-physical soul that survives death, but really we’re just physical beings playing a game, who aren’t really killed when the game is over. However, this possibility does away with the argument that there are vastly more simulated beings than “real” ones. And it’s possible that there are some fully-simulated beings, and others who have “real” beings playing a game….which would imply that some of us have souls that survive death, but most of us don’t.

   The benefit of mindfulness meditation is that techniques that are learned can be applied to the traumatic situation or flashback. Virtual reality, on the other hand, does not have this benefit. The hope of VR is that the flashbacks will diminish. I found a few studies that show this is an helpful method of treatment, but like you mentioned, it is expensive so most clinicians do not use virtual reality. I personally think mindfulness is an effective and cheap method of treating the major symptoms of PTSD.

   by making everybody afraid to encroach on their area of expertise. If the psycho is the only one who ever handles a certain subject or project, because he drives away all co-workers, he creates the myth that he is the only one capable of handling it, or the only one with all the knowledge and expertise for that project in the office.
