Isn't a simple counterpoint the age of exploration? Like all the same things apply, latency, hostile environment, "virtual reality" of high society. And yet we still got bored and decided to FAFO. It's an interesting idea but I think it falls over with just a small amount of critique personally.

Looking at the implications section: > Implication 1: we will not expand. The one constant we have shown over thousands of years as humanity and civilization is a push to expand. Driven by ego, greed, or belief we ALWAYS expand. Age of exploration shows a similar point in history where we had a known part of the world and tamed most of it. Yet there was still this drive to push the boundaries. > We will not expand because we will come to abhor latency My brother in Christ, it used to take months to receive an update, we still went exploring > We will not expand because it would risk our own destruction Self interest should override this implication because the risk of ruin is not a concern for those who are explorers. > We will not expand because there is no motive Ego, greed, drive all override this. Columbus didn't have a motive beyond money/fame. Those motives will always exist.
