As someone who read "Ready Player One", the book pretty much shows how people try to escape the harsh reality by living in a unreal digital universe showing how this affect the whole society. What's even worse is how a company tries to "own" that digital universe. It's hard to believe that something that was always portrayed as fictional, which even showed it's gigantic negative effects on people's mental health and society is could become real. If an addiction to social media is already a problem, imagine an entire immersive universe.
I find it funny how basically every movie with a metaverse portrays it as basically a bad thing, yet every company seems to love to say their metaverse is going to be "like ready player one or the matrix". In ready player one if I remember correctly at the end of the book they start to spend LESS time in the metaverse and more time in the real world, and the giant soulless corporation is defeated after attempting to control the metaverse for profit like these companies do. And the Matrix they just straight up just want to leave the metaverse all together and live in the real world, and the only person who DID want to be in the metaverse was also a bad guy who killed people to get back there.
There was this book series called Pendragon where this technology existed. It had a bad ending. No one lives real life anymore and people were on feeding tubes to survive from refusal to ever log out. Reality became a wasteland no one cared for or maintained and the gov did whatever it wanted while we were all logged in. If someone ever logged out, it was usually because they had died...
@@ak_kem0846 yeah but the bullying people do irl is no where near the online ones because in the internet there's a sense of anonymity that makes you feel like you can do whatever you want without real world consequences 🤷🏾
@@Nick-dx2pt I’d rather have a person say something really rude to me than a person break my nose. Now if you’re famous, cyber bullying is HORRIBLE. But not everyone’s gonna be famous (obviously)
Hey, everyone here, this is a little thing called a "joke". Let me explain, bullying is a common thing in our real world, and cyberbullying is bullying someone online... so, when in the metaverse, as it intends to replace the real world, will also cause most normal bullying to become cyberbullying. Hence, "taking cyberbullying to the next level".
this may very well result in an increased suicidal rate and depression. providing users with such unreal levels of immersion is a double edged sword. charming, sure but imagine returning to your real life. imagine looking at your surroundings or in the mirror after taking that headset off - a coping mechanism for the insecure, making them feel much more miserable than what they actually are
Wanna know what's worse? Imagine Insurance agents coming to you now in the metaverse and there's nothing you can do about it. Zuck: We have a vision for businesses. Me: My ballss (Judging by how FB already "verifies" things, I don't think its gonna go well)
I don’t want the metaverse to be as strong as it’s sounding, I don’t want a replacement for our reality, I want the metaverse to be a hyperrealistic game universe, the way it’s sounding like it’s meant to be sounds like what various video games and movies warned us against, physical reality should always is distinguishable from the digital one
@@IDontLikeHandIes It’s clearly real enough that we never truly noticed So therefore this is real….. maybe, wouldn’t want to believe it’s a simulation though
Imagine how empty people feel after leaving the meta world and being back in reality. Society will get more and more lost in the circle of dopamine addiction, creating brain dead people and increasing the development of depression
If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You most look outward if you wanna be successful in life.
I can already picture celebrities- making an avatar in their likeness & hiring someone to be their metaverse presence while they continue about their normal day & reap the rewards in real life
The Metaverse would be really scary if Facebook owned it to begin with. Stuff like this shouldn't be owned by a company that already has such a detailed profile of all of their users.
@@guykoplowich4068 They have a vision for technology in the future and lot of people follow that vision blindly without questioning it. The irony is, the same people will mock you for blindly believing in a religion but they will worship Mark and Elon like some gods. I've lately realised that social media actually drains me of any emotions because I became very invested and this metaverse thing is like that to the tenth power.
Facebook isn't the only one that pushing metaverse.. there are a lot of company that pushing towards it.. Facebook is the only one that stand out because of the rebranding and stuff
@@dakotadavis2008 nah that would be just as bad, i wouldn't want any big company doing this. it's just terrifying to think of a single company somehow leading the way into the "metaverse", the only group I'm comfortable with leading us into the greater universe is NASA
The meta thing should be like a Disney theme park ; limited time, for fun, as a hobby. It's so cool to have certain experiments but living in it 24/7 seems terrifying.
I'm actually looking forward to this. It's amazing, people shouldn't be afraid of this. You decide what you do with it, nobody forces you to live there virtually.
@@Lily-zd6dx I'm going to be honest, when I was 14-18 was playing so much online. But still went to work and had friends. Now that I'm older and have my own family,no time to spend a full day playing, but if this technology existed, I would totally play here and there if time permitted.
This also means that Meta will be able to monitor every single move and word you say/hear/do. There will be zero privacy just like there is none on FB.
Yep, which also means that our culture will be stuck, cause people won't have to think about anything, because the "right" and "wrong" have been fixed on us to a point where most people would think it's objective. When reality is, our moral values have changed over time as the species evolves. And a big company with that power can easily halt it all in fear of change, because again, the people running it behind closed doors have the same fear as everyone else: "not being the one in control", or in other words, "the unknown" and whatnot. I still think that for now, I'll just hang in my real self. I know how to use VR chat and can even get a VR headset if I want to... just I don't think it's gonna be any better for me. It's kinda just pointless until an entire consciousness transfer is possible.
@@VideoGameStarChannelSupreme A TRANSFER will never be possible. They will probabaly be able to make an exact COPY of your consciousness, so that for everyone who knows you it will be identical. But for you, it would be no difference from just dying. Just like you have contents on your computer hard drive. You can make a copy of that and smash the original drive. As a user and creator of that content it will be all the same to you, but for the old hard drive (if it had the ability to think and feel), it makes no difference if a copy was made before being smashed, it will experience exactly the same thing regadless (being smashed and thrown away).
@@TheMemoryPolice Correct. It also tracks your movements. But you have the possibility to install encrypted programs that talk with other encrypted programs on your friends phone. You can't do that on FB and you won't be able do that on Meta either. And you can put away your phone or leave it at home when you meet up with friends or go somewhere and you don't want ýour phone to track you. For people who will choose to hang with their friends on Meta, there will be no privacy. And everything you choose to do there will also be tracked.
The meta verse seems more depressing honestly. Imagine being done with the metaverse only to realize that you are just an ordinary dude. Honestly we shouldn’t even be worrying about how we are in real time, but The metaverse looks like it’s about to accomplish that.
The scariest part is: for most people this is the escape that they've been waiting for. No need to live in the real world, this is where they will inhabit this is where they will die.
But listen, it could also cure the depression some problem feel. As long as they understand that they still need to live a real life, it could help them.
I hope he's right. 1) because that means WALL-E and EVA might have a chance and 2) bc maybe then we can get rid of all of humanity...err meaning the presence of humans on earth? Hehehe
I feel that the first introduction to the metaverse was the movie "The Matrix". They were preparing our minds, making us comfortable with the idea of a virtual world. 🙈
Preparing the world's mind for such changes has a special word. It's called "predictive programming". You see it on TV, your mind accepts it and has less resistance down the line when it is actually brought into real life.
probably the right move is to spread awareness and think smart. what I mean by that is we shouldn't trust meta too much and we shouldn't lose the importance of the real world. as an example, meta is wonderful for those who are disabled or are seperated on ither sides of the world so you can connect however for those who live together, they will drift apart and start a new life in the metaverse. we need to use the metaverse as a tool to improve life and not to replace it.
You see, that's EXACTLY what the Zucc wants. The bastard wants to become the new god. The new Messiah to rally all the faithful ones to Metaverse Rapture
My thoughts exactly. Creeps are going to take advantage of this. Imagine a criminal just teleporting to your bedroom because he doesn’t have to break in. Thanks metaverse 😒
I’m personally scared of one thing. Imagine when you were younger, you were enjoying walks on the actual beaches, going to the actual stores and eating on the actual restaurant. Imagine if all of these start getting a past reality and everything outside is closed and abandoned…just imagine taking off the VR and be alone, feeling dizzy in your apartment, house, mansion.
Yeah, we're gonna end up in those Matrix slime tanks, aren't we... while looking like the "Wall-e" people and behaving and conducting ourselves like the society of Demolition man.. Yeah, I'll just.. 👉💥🤪💦
I am absolutely scared of this. The only things I feel close to are the ability of seeing places in different moments in history, making your own clothes and taking part at live concerts. The rest just scares me, everything real would be so distant, we might end up being addicted to this. I personally will never be a metaverse member
Was gonna comment the same but apparently you too have the same thought....we are already adicted to mobiles laptops etc....it already has serious health implication.
Metaverse experiences depend on huge real life infrastructure (data centres, fixed and mobile networks, etc.) and it uses huge amounts of energy. Not to mention the need for rare earth metals, etc. Not as sustainable as it looks…
No part of me wants Metaverse. And social media has already ruined so much. Aliens will visit this planet and just lol after we have destroyed ourselves
9:45 " data collection on level of measuring your brain activity". That means that peoples' "navigation" in metaverse will be done with their thoughts-minds? Does this mean that metaverse existence demands the " human update" or transhumanism? (chips inside the brains etc)?
Honestly I cant look forward to running around a world where nobody is outside anymore enough. Ill just spend my day growing my own veggies and occasionally go make my rounds, visit people in their tiny cubicle homes and just randomly slap them in the face, running away before they even have a chance to realize what happened.
I'm amazed, dumbfounded, surprised, and in awe after watching this video. I'm thinking about how futuristic things already are, and wounder how much further will tech advance. What else is out there? Then, the next video starts to play, and I realize there is so much more. Then, the next video starts, and I can't look away. Now, I think I understand addiction... I can't stop watching. Awesome job, Aaron. My curiosity is your playground ❤️
I was just discussing this with my classmates. I even used Wall.E as a reference to how future humans will be. Technology is meant to assist humans but lately it feels like it's going to swallow us whole.
I love the advancements in technology - however for me it is about fitting these experiences into our reality, not fitting our reality into these experiences.
if it remplace real activities then it's YOUR problem... Why are people love to be babying that much. These compagnies arent forcing anyone to indulge themself in these product. not having these product are not going to ostrazice you. Just like i never had Iphone, and no one ever give a damn about it.
I've never felt this level of dread when hearing about a new project. I'm feeling it now. In reality, I hope this will just be VR Chat 2. A place for shitposting and memes
Everyone's talking about the metaverse like its an entire new world to teleport into, but its simply not. You can't feel any sensations of the place and cannot touch anything in it, and you will be limited by the physical objects around you in real life. I just have a hard time believing it will be realistic at all. This isn't the matrix, its not even close.
Yay, finally we can stop going out and just sit on the sofa all day!! I can't wait to give FB all may data and unlimited access to my life! What could go wrong, am I right?

As a 3D artist, this is probably good for me but I’m worried about this being a poor replacement for our real lives. Even more concerned we won’t have a real choice in opting to be part of it. I’m glad so many of the comments express similar sentiment, atleast I won’t be alone in resisting I think.
Of course there is gonna be good in *any* form of technology, some way or another. In this particular case I believe the bad outweigh the good - so the whole thing is not worth using as it damages society as a whole. I will also pass on it, and advise against it.
10 years from now companies and jobs will try to require people to be apart of it in some way, in some way it’ll be known to increase efficiency or workflow. It’ll start being advised, and people will have to make a choice of whether to succumb to that pressure or not. People who opt not to will be seen as old fashioned, paranoid, or like a conspiracy theorist
@@dezzyjones @MaZe I think you guys are right about there being some good and the pressure there will be to be immersed in it. It’s not too different from the current effects that social media has, so I think our wariness is pretty warranted.
When the wheel was invented, many cavemen resisted as they thought it will lead to devolution of their body's natural ability to sprint. Now we are so very lazy to walk a mile to the store that we even replaced our vehicles with Amazon and such.
So true lol... During the last Royal Wedding in the UK...(I forget who cos I don't care)... They were literally moving homeless ppl off the route so it wouldn't look bad.
@@captaincupid5913 doesn't matter if it's good or bad as long as they make a profit and keep a good enough reputation they couldn't care less. Pretty scary indeed
@Daan Daan yes people will be addicted they would not be able to leave it just like people can't live without social media now and humans are now doomed
Thinking about things like this always reminds me of the episodes in Futurama where they go online with headsets and get "physically" bombarded by ads, heh.
@@andrewgonzales5363 Not just that, billboards that selective to you. For the same popular place, there will a billboard that will be showing different things for different people based on their likings.
This is honestly a problem. I'm REALLY into gaming and once I start playing games, I do it for a LONG time regardless of the time I planned to spend on my PC. And if Metaverse comes, you WILL NOT care about your real life body or health, and that's going to be a really big problem. And not to mention the fact that this is owned by Facebook
dont worry at that point data packs are going to cost you so much that u wont be able to otherwise. like you could consume 10gb of data pack in just 10 mins + there will be laws brought so that a person can only be allowed to log in to the metaverse for a certain period of time per day. they have these regulations already when it comes to children and gaming in asian countries
In my opinion, the negatives far outweigh the positives. I hope there are enough people out there who agree to not make this metaverse take root in society.
@@MamutaBCU me too. not using it is a form of fighting it. i want real life experiences. i dont want my friends to be some fat pigs stuck in their houses 24/
@@himesetsu1001 at least in my country i believe a big portion of teens believe that this virtualized world is not the real world because i still think most teens in my country still want real life experience. The biggest threat is the new generation
I can’t get over the fact that people would see a concert in VR over real life. I can only imagine those ppl have never been to a concert. And also other things we do in life, I’m sorry but I can’t see VR ever comparing to the joy of those things in real life. U can’t feel anything like the fuck
"I created the OASIS because I never felt at home in the real world. I didn't know how to connect with the people there. I was afraid, for all of my life, right up until I knew it was ending.

Because reality is real" Ernest Cline, Ready Player One "I'm not crazy about reality, but it's still the only place to get a decent meal." Groucho Marx, Ready Player One
@@aidancommenting idk whether you read the books, but the headsets were funded as well for school and such, but you’d get a less sophisticated version. People’s homes could still be bombed and they probably wouldn’t even know until after it happens. It will possibly be very cool and beneficial at first, but I t’s 100% gonna be catastrophic at some point further in the future.
It feels like 90% of the people who are super vocal against the metaverse thing weren't around before the internet became popular. People were against the internet as well, look how that panned out. If you're reading this, you're literally on it right now. How vocal the opposition is doesn't really make a difference in the end, the majority will still gladly consume it. Also, the reason why you see so many people against it, is because only the people against it are speaking out. The ones who are into it don't have any reason to be talking about it 24/7.
Just like the VCR was adopted widely by the porn industry in the 80's, Meta virtual reality will most likely too. I just can't see myself spending half a day with a headset on just to do regular work.... nope!
Seeing how people eventually gave up on using fb 24/7 too we're probably fine, but it is still worrisome to think the effect it will have on some people, many will stop living in the real world except for eating and toilet
The quote from the World Economic Forum "You will own nothing and be happy", and combine that with the idea of the Metaverse, where, if the worse comes, and you won't need a car, a physical job to go to, or anything really, just an internet connection, a place to be comfy in your home, and of course food and water, which who knows, in the future could be sent to you via a drone or something, kind of makes sense. Of course this is just speculation, but the concept of that is kind of freaky. The idea on paper sounds cool, but in reality, when the technology finally reaches to where the ultimate use of the Metaverse is here, I think that it may have a strongly negative side affect to people's mental and emotional state. Today's social media already has this affect on a lot of people, but this could take that dial up to 11. I think we need to be severely cautious about the Metaverse, despite how cool some of the positive concepts sound.
@@G0LDZY That hasn't happened in Roblox for years. Ever since they introduced filtering enabled. Now its restricted to level 7 client sided exploits and autofarm and aimbot scripts.
Anytime you see huge multi-billion dollar corporations push something like this so much, you should be VERY concerned. My favorite comment with companies like this is, "If they could make more money making widgets, they would make widgets." principle of this? It's all about money. So their ultimate goal is to take even more money (higher percentage) then they do now. If this was some grassroots movemement using some indie based software, I would be much more welcoming. But I see this much like I see blockchain video games. It's a huge moneygrab.
Ofcourse it's about making money, they're not pouring billions of dollars into a project out of pure good will. It will be monetized, it will have ads everywhere, perhaps premium subscriptions and paid events. But the Metaverse will have to be appealing to get people on board. For that, they will have to make it accessible and fun for the broad audience. You won't see much BS on the platform for the first few years at least.
This sounds like a hell of sorts. It is overwhelming temptation. In the end, everything you do there will be even more meaningless than it will be in real life.
Real life is hell. My avatar isn't going to get a leaky blood vessel behind its retina from the chronic stress of being the least desirable and most useless human on the planet. That actually happened to me. I'm going to go blind from loneliness. How is this not already hell?
@@JB52520 to live is to suffer. You do things to lessen the suffering of your self and those around you. Life is like living on a dung heap if something makes you happy no matter how small embrace it………good old fashioned Buddhism has been talking about this for years. As for Meta the goal is for you to own nothing and be happy. So this is an app for all the suckers out there dumb enough to actively become wage slaves for life.
Back the old days, people would go to casinos and sit for hours in front of penny-slots routinely losing everything they ever brought into the place.. same difference. Zuckerberg wants to cash-in on our future.. and I for one am not having it. I refuse to squeeze the t*tty and make Zuckerberg rich. Let his stock tank and let him go build penis shaped rockets like Bezos.
Imagine being raised up on the Metaverse, now fast forward 20 years. All you know is Metaverse. One day someone hacks the Metaverse or unplugs the Metaverse. 😳
Depresses me only to think that people are fine with not experiencing REAL WORLD you canot feel the wind, touch or emotions its all fake, fake experience fake feels and fake people at the maximum. Like people buying nft-s of a guitar or a car, rather than to buy an actual guitar and learn to play it and in some cases it's even a lot cheaper. I'm just disappointed with people of today.
@@Skyward23Fpv Scientifically speaking, what you feel is just nerve impulses and brain chemicals... It's not that hard for tech to be able to stimulate feeling in that same way. That's where the whole 'brain in a jar' thing comes from. Not to mention, reality has limits. A virtual one does not. It's all about how it's executed. Sure the metaverse might be a ploy for even better datamining and profiling of people, but a fully virtual world where you can do and feel things in a better way than the real world will most likely occur. If not now, in the future.
@@adeeshadeegala5900 I understand you, but how the real world will look like? Kids these day are so sensitive about everything rl, because they lack touch to the real world I see it on day to day basis, I don't see how meta verse can help, only becoming much worse and making yung sensitive minds more fragile close up the world society, loosing all your day in a safe environment, but the reality is other way around, I was scared shitless of making first motorcycle jump or backflip but that makes you feel soo alive when you accomplis it and rewarding there is no game trophy that can replace that. Also I see it as a problem if the new generation in future start earning money in this univers the whole real world will come apart and that is a fact. Feeling satisfied with your virtual place and living in a hole when you can turn the thing the other way around in real life is wrong and for meta it will work because people don't like hard stuff in life they we want it all easy and smooth even if it's fake...
And that's on the decline, real art and interactions are put to shame by NFTs and these superficial social platforms, instead of having a in person meeting with people to empathize with them now people face time or do calls which can never be enough....
One of the things I believe could keep us from getting too addicted to the metaverse would be similar to the ending of ready player one. I'm talking about closing the servers for certain days like Tuesday and Friday or something like that. But thats my opinion

Escapism can be really, really scary and we have enough of that now with shows and movies, social media, and games. I'm seriously hoping and praying people wake up to this being the end of reality for all the reasons this guy mentioned
Was looking for this comment. The quest I haven’t seen asked is why this is necessary? My thought is that it’s because real life will be the nightmare, so the escape is for coping.
i agree, I find it odd that most US states and many countries have not legalized weed or other drugs which are forms to escape but this is socially acceptable. They are all forms of escaping the world and all forms can be addicting but all can also have positive uses used in moderation. However, I think it is more beneficial to explore the possibilities on this planet before we leave it behind.
In an age where people need to learn more how to handle themselves against reality, being able to choose your own reality is just depressing. I see this Metaverse sparking debates on the purpose oh human existence.
Just go on the tor network and check out how many database leaks Facebook and all other companies have lol. Imagine someone just casually hijacking your own personality and there's not a lot you can do about it.
Its like idiocracy mixed with demolition man, sh** is going insane. As elon musk said, one day videogames will be indistinguishable from reality, that dystopian brain fart is now reality.
it is more then a new tech implemented, and indeed you smelled it right the stench of enemy of human existence. This is an attack of humanity with all that it has.
The Metaverse honestly terrifies me. We don’t know what the long term effects of social media will be, but we are seeing glimpses, and they’re not comforting. How much more intense will those effects be when a social media company pushes us in the direction of an all consuming metaverse?

The concerns about Meta actually reminds me "the plan of Hydra about 'Absolute Control'" from the movie 'Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier' and "the dream becomes the reality" concept from the movie 'Inception.' Really scary. Day by day we are sharing our personal data, concepts, ideas, character willingly or unwillingly to companies we don't even know what they will do afterward with those data.

As someone who read "Ready Player One", the book pretty much shows how people try to escape the harsh reality by living in a unreal digital universe showing how this affect the whole society. What's even worse is how a company tries to "own" that digital universe. It's hard to believe that something that was always portrayed as fictional, which even showed it's gigantic negative effects on people's mental health and society is could become real. If an addiction to social media is already a problem, imagine an entire immersive universe.
I find it funny how basically every movie with a metaverse portrays it as basically a bad thing, yet every company seems to love to say their metaverse is going to be "like ready player one or the matrix". In ready player one if I remember correctly at the end of the book they start to spend LESS time in the metaverse and more time in the real world, and the giant soulless corporation is defeated after attempting to control the metaverse for profit like these companies do. And the Matrix they just straight up just want to leave the metaverse all together and live in the real world, and the only person who DID want to be in the metaverse was also a bad guy who killed people to get back there.
There was this book series called Pendragon where this technology existed. It had a bad ending. No one lives real life anymore and people were on feeding tubes to survive from refusal to ever log out. Reality became a wasteland no one cared for or maintained and the gov did whatever it wanted while we were all logged in. If someone ever logged out, it was usually because they had died...
Damn that's one interesting book...
im gonna check it out
But you know you cant run from it ... People said a lot bad about internet computer smartphones but .... It will happen eventually

One important thing about the metaverse everyone almost always overlooks: it will take cyber bullying to the next level
wtf do u mean do u think the real world has no bullying
@@ak_kem0846 yeah but the bullying people do irl is no where near the online ones because in the internet there's a sense of anonymity that makes you feel like you can do whatever you want without real world consequences 🤷🏾

@@Nick-dx2pt I’d rather have a person say something really rude to me than a person break my nose. Now if you’re famous, cyber bullying is HORRIBLE. But not everyone’s gonna be famous (obviously)
Hey, everyone here, this is a little thing called a "joke".
Let me explain, bullying is a common thing in our real world, and cyberbullying is bullying someone online... so, when in the metaverse, as it intends to replace the real world, will also cause most normal bullying to become cyberbullying. Hence, "taking cyberbullying to the next level".
this may very well result in an increased suicidal rate and depression. providing users with such unreal levels of immersion is a double edged sword. charming, sure but imagine returning to your real life. imagine looking at your surroundings or in the mirror after taking that headset off -
a coping mechanism for the insecure, making them feel much more miserable than what they actually are

If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You most look outward if you wanna be successful in life.

This also means that Meta will be able to monitor every single move and word you say/hear/do. There will be zero privacy just like there is none on FB.
Yep, which also means that our culture will be stuck, cause people won't have to think about anything, because the "right" and "wrong" have been fixed on us to a point where most people would think it's objective.
When reality is, our moral values have changed over time as the species evolves. And a big company with that power can easily halt it all in fear of change, because again, the people running it behind closed doors have the same fear as everyone else: "not being the one in control", or in other words, "the unknown" and whatnot.
I still think that for now, I'll just hang in my real self. I know how to use VR chat and can even get a VR headset if I want to... just I don't think it's gonna be any better for me. It's kinda just pointless until an entire consciousness transfer is possible.
our phones already listen to us
@@VideoGameStarChannelSupreme A TRANSFER will never be possible. They will probabaly be able to make an exact COPY of your consciousness, so that for everyone who knows you it will be identical. But for you, it would be no difference from just dying.
Just like you have contents on your computer hard drive. You can make a copy of that and smash the original drive. As a user and creator of that content it will be all the same to you, but for the old hard drive (if it had the ability to think and feel), it makes no difference if a copy was made before being smashed, it will experience exactly the same thing regadless (being smashed and thrown away).
@@TheMemoryPolice Correct. It also tracks your movements.
But you have the possibility to install encrypted programs that talk with other encrypted programs on your friends phone. You can't do that on FB and you won't be able do that on Meta either.
And you can put away your phone or leave it at home when you meet up with friends or go somewhere and you don't want ýour phone to track you. For people who will choose to hang with their friends on Meta, there will be no privacy. And everything you choose to do there will also be tracked.
thats literally what I was thinking, they can delete our stuff, lock our avatar in metajail if we do anything against facebook

The point is meeting with people, friends, family who are on the other side of the globe! Sharing activities ;)
@@acidkhmer While we wait we can play Roblox, it's a metaverse
The meta verse seems more depressing honestly. Imagine being done with the metaverse only to realize that you are just an ordinary dude. Honestly we shouldn’t even be worrying about how we are in real time, but The metaverse looks like it’s about to accomplish that.
The scariest part is: for most people this is the escape that they've been waiting for. No need to live in the real world, this is where they will inhabit this is where they will die.
But listen, it could also cure the depression some problem feel. As long as they understand that they still need to live a real life, it could help them.

I feel that the first introduction to the metaverse was the movie "The Matrix". They were preparing our minds, making us comfortable with the idea of a virtual world. 🙈
yep
its kinda more like ready player one
And the year meta verse is announced is the year matrix 4 is coming out.
Preparing the world's mind for such changes has a special word. It's called "predictive programming". You see it on TV, your mind accepts it and has less resistance down the line when it is actually brought into real life.

This is really scary tbh, I think it's a cool concept but the fact that this could potentially outweigh the real world freaks me out
Plus it's Facebook, they manipulate their users on a psychological level already
probably the right move is to spread awareness and think smart. what I mean by that is we shouldn't trust meta too much and we shouldn't lose the importance of the real world.
as an example, meta is wonderful for those who are disabled or are seperated on ither sides of the world so you can connect however for those who live together, they will drift apart and start a new life in the metaverse. we need to use the metaverse as a tool to improve life and not to replace it.

Of course there is gonna be good in *any* form of technology, some way or another. In this particular case I believe the bad outweigh the good - so the whole thing is not worth using as it damages society as a whole. I will also pass on it, and advise against it.
10 years from now companies and jobs will try to require people to be apart of it in some way, in some way it’ll be known to increase efficiency or workflow. It’ll start being advised, and people will have to make a choice of whether to succumb to that pressure or not.

@@dezzyjones @MaZe I think you guys are right about there being some good and the pressure there will be to be immersed in it. It’s not too different from the current effects that social media has, so I think our wariness is pretty warranted.

@@sharper68 that doesn't make it any better, the fuck lol
if the Metaverse is successful will traffic jams be replaced with slow internet connections?
In my opinion, the negatives far outweigh the positives. I hope there are enough people out there who agree to not make this metaverse take root in society.
i hope so too, this is what makes it scary for some of us, id rather experience real life relationships not everything to be virtualized...
I won’t use it.
@@MamutaBCU me too. not using it is a form of fighting it. i want real life experiences. i dont want my friends to be some fat pigs stuck in their houses 24/
@@himesetsu1001 at least in my country i believe a big portion of teens believe that this virtualized world is not the real world because i still think most teens in my country still want real life experience. The biggest threat is the new generation
I can’t get over the fact that people would see a concert in VR over real life. I can only imagine those ppl have never been to a concert. And also other things we do in life, I’m sorry but I can’t see VR ever comparing to the joy of those things in real life. U can’t feel anything like the fuck
"I created the OASIS because I never felt at home in the real world. I didn't know how to connect with the people there. I was afraid, for all of my life, right up until I knew it was ending. That was when I realized, as terrifying and painful as reality can be, it's also the only place where you can find true happiness. Because reality is real"

@@aidancommenting idk whether you read the books, but the headsets were funded as well for school and such, but you’d get a less sophisticated version. People’s homes could still be bombed and they probably wouldn’t even know until after it happens. It will possibly be very cool and beneficial at first, but I t’s 100% gonna be catastrophic at some point further in the future.
The fact that many people are against this gives me hope.
It feels like 90% of the people who are super vocal against the metaverse thing weren't around before the internet became popular. People were against the internet as well, look how that panned out. If you're reading this, you're literally on it right now. How vocal the opposition is doesn't really make a difference in the end, the majority will still gladly consume it.
Also, the reason why you see so many people against it, is because only the people against it are speaking out. The ones who are into it don't have any reason to be talking about it 24/7.
@@joeljayakaran I was about to say that...
Just like the VCR was adopted widely by the porn industry in the 80's, Meta virtual reality will most likely too. I just can't see myself spending half a day with a headset on just to do regular work.... nope!
Seeing how people eventually gave up on using fb 24/7 too we're probably fine, but it is still worrisome to think the effect it will have on some people, many will stop living in the real world except for eating and toilet
@7th lmao ok boomer
I've been watching your videos for 2 hours straight. I don't know how I got here but I'm not complaining.
The quote from the World Economic Forum "You will own nothing and be happy", and combine that with the idea of the Metaverse, where, if the worse comes, and you won't need a car, a physical job to go to, or anything really, just an internet connection, a place to be comfy in your home, and of course food and water, which who knows, in the future could be sent to you via a drone or something, kind of makes sense. Of course this is just speculation, but the concept of that is kind of freaky. The idea on paper sounds cool, but in reality, when the technology finally reaches to where the ultimate use of the Metaverse is here, I think that it may have a strongly negative side affect to people's mental and emotional state. Today's social media already has this affect on a lot of people, but this could take that dial up to 11. I think we need to be severely cautious about the Metaverse, despite how cool some of the positive concepts sound.
Exactly

Anytime you see huge multi-billion dollar corporations push something like this so much, you should be VERY concerned. My favorite comment with companies like this is, "If they could make more money making widgets, they would make widgets." principle of this? It's all about money. So their ultimate goal is to take even more money (higher percentage) then they do now. If this was some grassroots movemement using some indie based software, I would be much more welcoming. But I see this much like I see blockchain video games. It's a huge moneygrab.
Ofcourse it's about making money, they're not pouring billions of dollars into a project out of pure good will. It will be monetized, it will have ads everywhere, perhaps premium subscriptions and paid events. But the Metaverse will have to be appealing to get people on board. For that, they will have to make it accessible and fun for the broad audience. You won't see much BS on the platform for the first few years at least.
This sounds like a hell of sorts. It is overwhelming temptation. In the end, everything you do there will be even more meaningless than it will be in real life.
Real life is hell. My avatar isn't going to get a leaky blood vessel behind its retina from the chronic stress of being the least desirable and most useless human on the planet. That actually happened to me. I'm going to go blind from loneliness. How is this not already hell?

Life when you think about it deeply has no meaning. You have to give it meaning.
@@JB52520 to live is to suffer. You do things to lessen the suffering of your self and those around you. Life is like living on a dung heap if something makes you happy no matter how small embrace it………good old fashioned Buddhism has been talking about this for years. As for Meta the goal is for you to own nothing and be happy. So this is an app for all the suckers out there dumb enough to actively become wage slaves for life.
Back the old days, people would go to casinos and sit for hours in front of penny-slots routinely losing everything they ever brought into the place.. same difference. Zuckerberg wants to cash-in on our future.. and I for one am not having it. I refuse to squeeze the t*tty and make Zuckerberg rich. Let his stock tank and let him go build penis shaped rockets like Bezos.
Imagine being raised up on the Metaverse, now fast forward 20 years. All you know is Metaverse. One day someone hacks the Metaverse or unplugs the Metaverse. 😳

I can't be the only one who just doesn't like the sound of being in a completely virtual world where you don't leave your house
I agree we all need real life
Depresses me only to think that people are fine with not experiencing REAL WORLD you canot feel the wind, touch or emotions its all fake, fake experience fake feels and fake people at the maximum. Like people buying nft-s of a guitar or a car, rather than to buy an actual guitar and learn to play it and in some cases it's even a lot cheaper. I'm just disappointed with people of today.
@@Skyward23Fpv Scientifically speaking, what you feel is just nerve impulses and brain chemicals...
It's not that hard for tech to be able to stimulate feeling in that same way.
That's where the whole 'brain in a jar' thing comes from.
Not to mention, reality has limits. A virtual one does not.
It's all about how it's executed. Sure the metaverse might be a ploy for even better datamining and profiling of people, but a fully virtual world where you can do and feel things in a better way than the real world will most likely occur.
If not now, in the future.
yeah i really can't see myself doing this but maybe im wrong
@@adeeshadeegala5900 I understand you, but how the real world will look like? Kids these day are so sensitive about everything rl, because they lack touch to the real world I see it on day to day basis, I don't see how meta verse can help, only becoming much worse and making yung sensitive minds more fragile close up the world society, loosing all your day in a safe environment, but the reality is other way around, I was scared shitless of making first motorcycle jump or backflip but that makes you feel soo alive when you accomplis it and rewarding there is no game trophy that can replace that. Also I see it as a problem if the new generation in future start earning money in this univers the whole real world will come apart and that is a fact. Feeling satisfied with your virtual place and living in a hole when you can turn the thing the other way around in real life is wrong and for meta it will work because people don't like hard stuff in life they we want it all easy and smooth even if it's fake...

I enjoy living in the real world, talking to real people, and having real experiences.
And that's on the decline, real art and interactions are put to shame by NFTs and these superficial social platforms, instead of having a in person meeting with people to empathize with them now people face time or do calls which can never be enough....
me too.😀
Life is boring, uneventful, and for many people, an unfortunate existence
eh life makes me depressed and want to die.
This video seems like a paid add
One of the things I believe could keep us from getting too addicted to the metaverse would be similar to the ending of ready player one. I'm talking about closing the servers for certain days like Tuesday and Friday or something like that. But thats my opinion
That essentially gives them the power to control peoples lives in the event the meta verse was like a second reality
Basically Ready Player One in real life except Mark won't be handing out keys that lead to his fortune when he kicks the metaverse bucket
and it will be full of ads xD
Ready Player One with more racism and less Atari games.

I agree.
The nerves in my body crave the sensation of actual real life people and things; my desire to spray a nice perfume and experience that immediate intensity, then enjoy it as it settles on and mingles with my skin, losing some layers of scent but leaving behind others.. well, that is a magic that cannot be replaced by any virtual reality anything!

Escapism can be really, really scary and we have enough of that now with shows and movies, social media, and games. I'm seriously hoping and praying people wake up to this being the end of reality for all the reasons this guy mentioned
Just imagine, games ruin lives enough, sum people stay inside and game staying a virgin for years and end up regretting it! imagine wut this WILL do
Was looking for this comment. The quest I haven’t seen asked is why this is necessary? My thought is that it’s because real life will be the nightmare, so the escape is for coping.
It’s all about moderation. It will only end reality for those who allow it to
i agree, I find it odd that most US states and many countries have not legalized weed or other drugs which are forms to escape but this is socially acceptable. They are all forms of escaping the world and all forms can be addicting but all can also have positive uses used in moderation. However, I think it is more beneficial to explore the possibilities on this planet before we leave it behind.

In an age where people need to learn more how to handle themselves against reality, being able to choose your own reality is just depressing. I see this Metaverse sparking debates on the purpose oh human existence.
Just go on the tor network and check out how many database leaks Facebook and all other companies have lol. Imagine someone just casually hijacking your own personality and there's not a lot you can do about it.
It really is. This isn't exciting this is a monumental setback for humanity.
Its like idiocracy mixed with demolition man, sh** is going insane. As elon musk said, one day videogames will be indistinguishable from reality, that dystopian brain fart is now reality.
it is more then a new tech implemented, and indeed you smelled it right the stench of enemy of human existence. This is an attack of humanity with all that it has.
Go outside into the nature and forget about the internet
The Metaverse honestly terrifies me. We don’t know what the long term effects of social media will be, but we are seeing glimpses, and they’re not comforting. How much more intense will those effects be when a social media company pushes us in the direction of an all consuming metaverse?
Absolutely can u imagine the inaccuracies the Politically Correct version of history education would be fraught with. Not to mention the body image issues we're already seeing in kids these days.

Yea I'm also terrified
@@sianjones7167 In the U.S. (and probably other nations too), history education has always been biased in favor of North American and European ideals, including colonialism, capitalism, and imperialism (which are all pretty much the same thing). However, the obsession with political correctness would probably make this cherry-picking and censorship even worse...
The concerns about Meta actually reminds me "the plan of Hydra about 'Absolute Control'" from the movie 'Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier' and "the dream becomes the reality" concept from the movie 'Inception.' Really scary. Day by day we are sharing our personal data, concepts, ideas, character willingly or unwillingly to companies we don't even know what they will do afterward with those data. It will be very easy for them to analyse us and turn anything against us. You are moving free under surveillance.
