Real vs Virtual

What is the significance of the ‘real’ (physical) thing and object and the virtual object and thing?

Well, like Ryan Haliday says (Ready Player One), it is hard to get a good meal in VR. Thus certainly sleep, food, shelter, fresh air, and all that jazz is far superior in embodied (‘real’) reality (also a nice cup of coffee).

But when it comes to ‘possessions’ or physical spaces … do we have a *preference* between the ‘real’ and the virtual?
