That is sad but true. It seems to me many people live lives which are bitterly lonely; and anything which ameliorates such a tragic isolation is a good thing, in my opinion. I think a lot of these kooky millennial cults that pop up here and there find recruits in persons who feel their needs are not met by what they see as a "soulless consumer society" and so resort to extreme measures in looking for self-fulfillment.

Both. After a cycle on earth, the spirits leave the physical and have to inhabit another locale, and what they were here, may be what they will be there. People are not "bad", but instead are judged that way because they are hurt, confused, afraid, shamed, and so forth. When they leave this physical life, they have a chance to heal before they begin another. People also get to see the wrongs they have done to others, and I hear this is a very painful process.

A world considerably improved beyond that of today, if all goes well. Aging and now-terminal diseases should be things of the past, and as well as the sort of built-in limitations on intelligence and other talents that now prevail.

This is one of those magical webcam questions that I'm sure everyone who has a webcam gets asked constantly. No, it does not bother me. Having an inconspicous little camera sitting on top of my monitor looking at me does not present me with an unnerving experience. I don't sit here dreading all the people in the world who are watching me at this very moment (although I do make some effort to stay fully clothed just in case). If you really want to know what it feels like, set one up yourself. See similar questions...
