...live vicariously through someone? You could feel their emotions, reflect on their thoughts and taste whatever they ate.

This could be done with various things, ranging from trying to understand someone on a deeper level than ever before to kinky things like a weird guy using it to feel what a woman making love to another woman is like.

And for context, this technology is safe and not very invasive when it comes to setting up. Just a tad bit expensive to acquire.

With that in mind, would you try this?

but this sounds worse for humanity than pretty much every drug

Not only would I not do it, I'd most certainly take a nap in protest. A rage nap.

How is the technology considered safe? Does it require consent from the person you choose to invade?

1) The technology doesn't require surgery nor other invasive procedures to work. 2) The technology in question I wouldn't know how to work IRL, but I imagined a "receiver device" that only works when a passcode is used to hook the person to the other.

Nah my life is ass and I'd eventually have to go back to that except now I'd know what I'm missing out on. My life is one of simple suffering and perhaps that's for the best.

That would probably be dangerous to some people. I don't think I would ever return to my own life.

If you want a ballpark figure, maybe $2000 for a basic set. $4500 if you want to get fancy.

You relive someone's experience, emotional/physical feelings and whatnot.

Like, you don't usually bone the workers at the sex worker's sex club, you pick one and get a BD of someone banging the worker that you relive with the feelings cranked to 11.

One of the love interests works in editing them to make them better, cut out the "clutter" of stray thoughts and unpleasant sensations, so on.

This has a dark side where you have illicit ones of people torturing someone to death or being tortured to death, other very unpleasant things.

If it were like a safe form of brain dance(without the sex preferably) from Cyberpunk, I might try it here and there to get a better understanding of people and how they think. That would be actually be pretty cool.

If I felt like I was literally living inside someone's head in the moment? No. Fuck no. Not only is that creepy, but the idea just genuinely freaks me out.

It's entertaining and worth a watch, but basically there's a door that leads directly into John Malkovich's mind, and you can see through his eyes and live through him temporarily, then get kicked out. I won't go into further details because of spoilers.

It's essentially pre-recorded memories of someone else. DrizztLink summed it up pretty well. The problem with them in Cyberpunk though, was that people could get addicted to the sensations they feel in BD's. It was basically like a drug to relive some of those memories.

Gamespot did a video on the Braindance lore if you're interested in giving it a watch. It goes into the history behind the technology (it was originally intended to help rehabilitate criminals by forcing them to relive their crimes over and over again, with exaggerated effects). It's something that exists from the tabletop games, not just Cyberpunk 2077.
