If a future VR is strong enough to embody us in another body — an animal, a conjured crazy creature, whatever — would we eventually “learn” it? Move around in it? Be it? I feel like the answer is yes.
I agree with this. But surely there has to be a limit. If we create an extremely complex body where its movement requires solving rhythmic problems based on changing prime numbers, or something like that, would we be able to do it? If we hook up the VR to a squirrel to control a human body, would it be able to do it?

The body is the mind. Change your body, change your mind.
Just saying, polymorph spells are problematic.
