> What, the real world isn’t as fun? Is that really such a crucial issue that we need to get at? Is that even really the point? Should everything be more fun? Say the metaverse did exist. At the end of the day, you’re unplugging into the real world. It’s your real hunger, life, currency, relationships, etc. that matter. What is the metaverse then, besides just a neat little toy? The article raises some interesting points for sure but this makes no sense. We do all kinds of fun stuff to escape the problems of the real world. This is why we have movies, books, games. Fun things to escape life do matter and they're a huge industry that people spend ax significant amount of their money on. The metaverse, if it materialises would make this aspect a lot better. I just don't see it happening until some core technical problems are solved. But I do see the point in it for sure.
