    I said “Presumed immortality”. Meaning Moriarty presumed he would live forever. They did not know they were in a memory cube. They had no reason to believe they wouldn’t exist forever, as a hologram manifested into reality.

    Now if the concept of desiring death in the face of immortality is foreign to you, then I invite you to watch Season 2 Episode 18 of Star Trek Voyager: Death Wish

      The concept of immortality is foreign to everyone because it’s a fictional concept.

      And as a fictional concept, you can certainly say that another fictional concept- holodeck characters in yet another fictional concept- a storage cube, wouldn’t go insane.

      So what you’re saying still makes no sense to me. You’re acting as if there are rules here.
