Well, a lot of progress we've made is based on science, which is based on rejecting the stories we tell ourselves. Our senses lie to us all the time in the real world too, so the stories you will tell yourself in the metaverse will be just stories. I think it matters, you can't build a rocket to outside the solar system if you think the Earth is flat. Will you be happy? Maybe, but the world we live in now has never been more connected yet people have never felt so disconnected. But like I originally said, the world you die in is always different. Maybe people get used to it and it's all they will know.
