Of course it's a scam. "You will own nothing and be happy". That is BS of the highest order. There will always be someone who owns and controls everything. It's just not going to be you. You will own nothing, you will be worthless. You won't even be able to have a girlfriend/boyfriend or friends for that matter; real human relationships are reserved for the elites. You will get as many VR friends as you want though. Already it's kind of happening. Look at how many friends rich people have; a lot. Look at how many friends poor people have; very few. Of course, they're not real friends, but still more real than light projected into your eyeballs.

I can't believe that people are downvoting this without making any arguments to refute it; they're thinking emotionally, looking at things through rose-colored lenses. Sometimes it seems like everyone is on drugs. People's brains are turning into swiss cheese. Trying to censor information is just not going to work. Controlling the media is not going to help beyond a certain point. People know what's going on and they'll be taking the real conversations offline. When everyone collectively realizes what's been happening, the backlash is going to be terrifying and unforgiving. The more you suppress the truth, the worse it will be when it all comes out. The current elites don't have the ability to suppress billions of people who were raised on freedom as the central principle of their existence.

  >The current elites don't have the ability to suppress billions of people who were raised on freedom as the central principle of their existence. I hope I'm not too cynical, but I think "freedom" is more of a meme than something that most people value. Whenever there are news stories about governments spying on their own citizens or restricting free speech, most people seem to just shrug and move on with their lives.

    I don't know about others but I certainly value my own freedom so I'm not going to live in any country which doesn't have it. I'm glad I visited the US last year because I have a feeling I'm never going back there. Same reason why I wouldn't go visit North Korea. BTW why am I hearing this 'freedom is not important' stuff from so many people on HN? Is that what your leaders are preaching? I'd be suspicious of your leaders if that were me.

Will we at least get to rent out artificial affection from the OnlyPornFansHub sexbot of our choice?
- cryptica 6y ago
  Yes, you will be allowed to choose any artificial sexbot you want and as many as you like... So long as the sexbot is supplied by the official Facebook-approved provider and Facebook employees can watch and record your every interaction with the sexbots. It's for your own safety and to improve the service of course.
