Yes, I think we're in trouble. Walked over to friends' house over the weekend. It was a very nice, sunny weekend. Saw them through the window with their goggles on, rang the doorbell. They came to the door and I said, look how nice and sunny it it, we should go for a walk and they were like "oh, we had no idea it was so nice out because we were in Meta with our goggles on".

I don't see how this is a bad thing. What's wrong with preferring the metaverse to their sunny neighborhood? Honestly the matrix seems like the end game here and I'm all for it. Then it can be a sunny day in the neighborhood every day. The doom comes from the matrix being built by people who either don't have our best interests in mind, or aren't competent enough to build the system to correctly act in our best interests.

You mean like Zuckerberg and FB?

What makes you believe that Mark "I can't believe those dumb fucks trust me" Zuckerberg doesn't have our best interests in mind?
Just a hunch...
