I'm not seeing a more fundamental issue in this thread; What are we trying to teach, and why? It's easy to subject people to studying math, history, etc. What if we wanted to teach appropriate social interaction? Moral analysis (NOT morals)? Critical thinking? Developing self knowledge?

The problem is that we need interactions with live humans to explore these subjects. Gaming in the metaverse won't do the job.

This seems key to me. We need to teach people how to learn autonomously. And provide them with quality tools to learn from.
