It has become clear in the past few years that many people have lost the ability to determine truth from lies, propaganda from fact. And even good from evil.
And now it appears many of us may soon lose our ability to recognize reality. Or live in it.
Mark Zuckerberg recently told tech podcaster Lex Friedman, "A lot of people think that the metaverse is about a place, but one definition of this is it’s about a time when basically immersive digital worlds become the primary way that we live our lives and spend our time." He added, "I think that’s a reasonable construct." Really? Who among us will want to “spend our time” and “live our lives” as legless avatars? Maybe those who have graduated from our moron factories colleges and universities.
Some have postulated that if we spend our time in the metaverse, we will lose our identity in favor of group homogeneity, be that ideological, cultural, or demographic. This is so, they say, because we will then likely separate into monocultural strata in which every subculture and sexual fetish can find mutual affirmation, causing individuality to give way to any given monoculture’s unified mindset. This is the irony of identity politics, multiculturalism, and intersectionality. The more each individual’s group identity is called out and deemed crucial to one’s existence, the less the individual matters and the less leeway for independent thought, personal integrity, and personal identity the individual has.
Modern technology strips us of personal privacy, as well. Governments such as China’s use facial recognition to control their own people. The C.C.P. allegedly uses A.I. to track Uighur Muslims and place them in “reeducation camps,” as it deems necessary. Russia, too, tracks its citizens via A.I. and facial recognition. There are 125,000 cameras in Moscow alone.

I would bet that there is a long-term plan on how to use the “Metaverse” to control society.
The meta verse has intentionally excluded God from its realm
People who claim to have been abducted by aliens describe a similar social structure with tall Greys who have a higher order of intelligence ordering around the little Greys who are basically meatbots. Are they our time traveling descendants?

DO WHAT!?!?
I cannot wait to hear to Church this morning.
Get to Church
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
I bought the oculus two and I have to say this it has a ways to go before it can duplicate any reality. The technology is just not there it’s like the beginning of the digital camera got a long way to go. also there’s not enough things to watch except for some travel logs and virtual girly shows which are probably the best thing about this device.
I’ve picked up some VR games on steam, but don’t have a headset yet. Biding my time until the prices fall and the technology improves.
The technology we have and the technology that exists is infinitely different. Already they are creating synthetic dimensions https://scitechdaily.com/physicists-manipulate-electrons-to-create-synthetic-dimensions/
It’s about time, because I need more storage space.
Are they our time traveling ancestors?
I read this book many years ago, good scifi. There is a scene where people are all hooked in to a VR environment experiencing riots, wars, sex through the VR. The tech is better than what we have, the experience almost indistinguishable from real life, some people live inside the VR and can’t break free from its grasp. They live and experience so much that many sit in their homes and apartments while riots rage all around them, burning down their cities and even killing many while they experience their own death, in VR. can you explain more?
That has been tried by nations throughout history. It has never worked out well for humans.
