    Let me rephrase then, I think all necessary jobs are equally important regardless the field. I agree with you, there are thousands of useless jobs, like, Garbage collectors (we can do it ourselves), politicians, policeman, corporate parasites, to name a few.



  • And they do, that’s why resiging is becoming a viable option for workers, as far as I understand the US government gives you a financial support if you meet some criteria. And to be honest, if my country did the same thing I would rather have their financial support than being exploited for someone else’s profit, that way I can actually live my life and work on whatever I like at my own pace.










  • It does sounds nice at first glance but think about it, do you really want to live in a “Player One” movie, let alone allow huge companies to know everything about you, and I mean everything, I’m talking neurological information. We know very little of our physical world and we already want to scape to a virtual one because reality sucks?, I’m not buying it.

    On a side note, I have a cousin who is really into VR, I can tell you, it’s not the cousin I knew, he changed and it’s depressing, he doesn’t want to interact with reality anymore, it’s crazy.





  • I say why bother?, I mean sure, it does sound fun, when playing for an hour or 2 but think of the social consequences in the long run, imagine people spending 8hrs a day in VR for a long period of time won’t being able to distinguish between reality and virtual reality.

    I think that this whole metaverse idea in itself will do more harm than good, either owned by a billionaire or the open-source community, this kind of technology development is not worth it. Furthermore, I would rather spend those resources elsewhere.
