VR sickness is not a permanent thing. You can train it away. You can also just do stuff that doesn’t cause it in the first place. But I recommend training it away, cuz some of the best VR content is the stuff that would cause VR sickness to people that still get it.
Well, yes. Of course you’re right that “metaverse” predates Facebook. They’ve successfully co-opted it by now, though; Meta is what the average person thinks of when you say “metaverse.” Stephenson’s was also fictional, unless you’re really generous and use “metaverse” as a synonym for “the internet.”
Metaverse is just a VR implementation, like Second Life or VRChat. My point is: In a broader sense it’s not a monopoly; only if you are hellbent on wanting a feature only that implementation offers, you have no choice.
Only, NFTs and Crypto are relatively accessible; anyone can get in on the game. The Metaverse is a monopoly.
The bubbles are still going, BTW. Bitcoin prices are currently higher than they have ever been, thanks to America re-electing the Fascist Orangutan.
The Metaverse is the invention of Neal Stephenson in his book Snow Crash. He incidentally also invented the word cyber space IIRC.
It’s cool, I want it. Not the crap that fuckberg tries to push on people like used bubblegum but the real thing.
A shame VR makes me vomit…

It wasn’t a fictional internet, but a 3D VR world.
