There’s a hype phase like this every ten years or so since the 70s or earlier that VR is going to revolutionize the world. It’s not going to happen this time either.
What’s really sad about this time, though, is that the Metaverse name comes from a dystopian sci-fi novel in which people retreat to a VR world because the real world is such a miserable place where corporations and organized crime runs the world.
Instead of embracing that, maybe we should be striving to avoid that state of affairs.
- wsjtho55 5y agoYou’d have to implode startups then since deflating others buying power and wages is what props up VCs that fund them You should probably also avoid Ycombinator which is basically seeding reality with pointless corpo brands, many with their own brand bucks for you to spend All in cahoots with government Like an organized crime syndicate And we all go online to distract from and support it There’s no getting around a police state; the goal of a state will always be to insure people accept what’s politically correct. If it’s politically correct there are billionaires that always win, political policy will enable it.
