I have a hard time agreeing with this statement. I feel that the idea of calling "Virtual realities genuine realities" almost disproves itself. If what we see and do in VR is real, then how real is what we do outside of VR, in real life? You can die in VR a million times and nothing will happen to the person playing. I feel like the word "virtual reality" perfectly describes what it is, as there are huge advancements making the games feel very real, but in all they are just virtual.

I think the question of if we are in a simulation is pretty interesting to think about. I believe the question if we will ever know is also interesting. My mind always comes back to the question of how would we know? What if simulations have become so advanced that it would be impossible to detect, or ever figure out. My mind also normally goes to the thought that if we are in fact inside of a virtual simulated world, how ever we got here probably also made sure that we wouldn't be able to ever figure it out.
