I had a dream last night that expressed my recent concern that Mark Zuckerberg and Meta are Pied Pipers leading our kids into virtual worlds where Meta controls everything including allowable expression and thought, where even certain concepts are banned with no allowable word for them [1]. My concern is that kids are getting VR headsets and going to a place where there is no parental control because adults don't understand VR or how to join their kids there. In my dream, and unseen voice is telling a young brother and sister how to secretly steal money from their grandparents and send it to them.

- Swizec 5y ago> kids are getting VR headsets and going to a place where there is no parental control because adults don't understand VR or how to join their kids there Sounds like early social media. Hanging out without parents was the crucial feature. I’m 34 now and having parents on social media still feels like an odd concept
- mwattsun 5y agoI had to ask myself why VR was different and it's because there's no screen that a parent can monitor. Once a child puts the glasses on, who knows where they go are where they are? I think parents will demand a screencast feature built in so they can at least watch what their kids are doing.
- ectopod 5y agoI don't think parents will demand anything. They will continue to assume that somebody else is making it safe for their children.
