I think Virtuals and Physicals are defined through the work lens, but the reverse happens for leisure time. Virtuals are able to collect big paychecks from remote work and then take that money and spend it on skiing, golf, hiking, travel, other forms of real life activities. Physicals that earn their living from manual work come home and then spend all their free time playing video games and scrolling TikTok. Since they don't live in big coastal cities that drive the majority of innovation and culture, they feel the need to stay in the know via social media. I think Reality Privilege continues to unravel, where the rich get to enjoy the beauty of the real world and in-person human connection while the poor are further drawn to digital worlds as their physical world deteriorates.
