The metaverse will make you forget the chains you’ll wear

So strange to me how quickly the cyberpunk world of fiction is becoming a reality. I don’t like the message and intent behind this push to build up these digital realities and then herd everyone into them as quickly as possible. This looks like another digital drug designed to addle the mind to a degree that no one hooked up to it would much care about hard-to-understand topics like public policy. Go to work, go home, plug in, zone out. For the rest of your life. They’ll make it so easy for you, too. Just watch how our phones will suddenly be equipped with AR/VR capability once this “metaverse” is established.
