Came up to this conclusion some days ago while posting on another thread here.
First, this requires a little bit of a preamble to be established.
I've been experimenting with lucid dreaming for about ~13 years now, during those years I've leaned a bunch about what you can an can't do while asleep, things like changing the dream environment, spawn dream characters, how to control them or give them "free will" (or at least the illusion)... etc.
It turns out that you can pretty much satisfy almost anything you desire as far as most experiences are concerned, except these things : validation & love
It doesn't matter how hard I've tried, I have summoned hundreds of iterations converging into the perfect Stacy and she would pretend to love me, hug me, make love to me, but I still felt empty, every time. And it is not the mechanical sensations, or smell or taste, quite the contrary, senses are augmented within dreams because signals don't have to travel through the spinal chord, no, it is the knowledge that she isn't real that kills it.
Most of my dreams are lucid dreams, but occasionally I'll have one in which I don't realize I'm dreaming (they are still incredibly vivid though), most of them end up being nightmares for some reason, but not all of them.
About 8 or so months ago I had a very special non lucid dream. In this dream some fairly average girl I happened to find cute asked me out, confessed she had a crush on me, gave me a smile and hugged me. (I woke some moments after that) And in that moment I felt complete, for just a moment I knew that this idealized form of love I imagined not only existed but also lived up to my expectations. I kid you not, I had a smile on my face for like 14 hours the next day.
So where is the black pill ? well, it comes from comparing the lucid dream experience with the non lucid one... this experience is proof that the satisfaction we derive from love/hugs/smiles not only doesn't depend on the mechanics & aesthetics of the experience, BUT ON KNOWING IT COMES WILLINGLY FROM SOMEONE ELSE.
It is the validation that gives it power. This is scary AF, because it means that sex robots, AI or paid escorts will never be able to fulfill that experience for us, probably not even drugs.
TL;DR : I prove that satisfaction from love and affection depend 100% on the knowledge of validation from a real person.
