Personal note: My sister (now 26 yo) was diagnosed with psychosis about 6 years ago and I attribute it to her extensive use of social media. I can’t prove it but I’m sure that social media either created or triggered her psychosis. Today she’s still on drugs.

I would appreciate companies like fb to work more on the effects of social media on society and people’s psychology rather than creating fake worlds so that people get hooked more on it. But of course corporates only care about profit. Heck, I would still appreciate them if they tried to create a competitor to spacex or blue origin. Of course they are also commercial organizations but least there’s some side effect of space exploration that would benefit humankind in the future. But metaverse looks like just another social media platform packaged differently. I don’t see it helping humanity. And fb at this size should do more to help society rather than trying to plug everyone to matrix.
