#23I know this is supposed to mock the metaverse-thing. And the first time I heard about the metaverse, my reaction was: "what a colossal pile of dog shit". My opinion hasn't changed even the slightest. Like why? What sort of sane human beings would put themselves through that? I had this discussion with a friend on Sunday. The sad part is that he agrees with me but said that he was willing to bet that people would blow…
We are more detached from real life than ever. Looks like Idiocracy was a documentary, not comedy.
I take Idiocracy over what we currently have - at least leaders were charismatic.

Thing to remember is that’s 600k of crypto which has probably never been “real” money and may well have been a wash trade anyway. It’s not overly clear to me that it’d be easy to get that nominal value out as USD from the crypto original either. So you see ridiculous, inflated, purchases made.
It’s a bit like EVE Online where the existence of PLEX allows for a conversion between USD and the in-game currency ISK and hundreds of thousands of dollars routine gets “destroyed” in big fleet battles.

Lol. I feel like this was created only for the proof-of-steak pun!

In many aspects we've entered a post-scarcity society, to the extent that scarcity has to be invented by things like NFTs. For these people, they might as well have found a game breaking bug in the thing we call existence.
Of course, it would be nice if we got more of humanity on board with this first, what with the vast majority of the population being in poverty, or worse.

#27Ridiculous, nobody wants _reality_ anymore. /s

#28I've been trying to book my EU/US transfers via Iceland just to absorb it a bit from within the airport, sadly though Icelandic Air is making this almost impossible.
So I've decided to facilitate a proper visit next year. I'm obsessed with country, and as far as islanders go they indeed seem much more welcoming than Japanese :)

How can we be in post scarcity if millions of people are in poverty?

Perhaps it depends on who the "we" is.
