I feel like the metaverse being having such sanitized aesthetics and such a non threatening kitsch overall goes back to many episodes back when Felix brought up how people liked bernie because they got tired living in an infantilized world and how bernie spoke to everyone like an adult. The metaverse is basically the imagination of the striver class illustrated: nothing actually new, just fancy enough to impress the suits in the C-suites because theyre too old to know better.
Palantirs motto being Save the Shire is even more absurd given that Saruman is corrupted by his use of a palantir to attempt to determine the best path to take by making the best predictions about the future. When his palantir is taken from him and his plans are destroyed by his defeat, he travels to the shire and trues to destroy it purely for the sake of revenge. Notably, the other palantir in LotR is used to persuade and cojole Denethor into making bad, self-destructive decisions out of fear which would aid in the conquest and destruction of much of middle-earth, including of course the shire
one thing ive just noticed from my observation is that literally no one cares about the metaverse except like every company that makes commercials for TV, cuz on TV ive seen so many commercials from various companies with like an old person understanding of technology where the subject has a VR headset on in some random place and is doing things "in the metaverse"
The future of being ranked by "how good you are at watching TV" is the future Dr. Clayton Forrester always dreamed of, yet for that, everyone called him MAD!

Matt is at best five years away from joining some weird Orthodox Church, the way he hyperventillates whenever he can link something to a supposed lack of spirituality.
He’s already pretty openly gnostic in his life streams so I doubt it. Even if Rock Hard Rod hadn’t poisoned that well for everyone on the show that’s not really the direction he’s moved in
Missed opportunity for sure. They ahould just play to their real strengths and just remind people that their high school acquaintances are having public breakdowns right now and they’re the place to witness it.
For the record, the whole point of an FSA is that it expires every year. The HSA is the one that accumulates over time. It’s all stupid. The FSA is basically insurance but they don’t negotiate down the cost. You need insurance, insurance to cover healthcare that insurance doesn’t cover, and a tax deductible savings account to cover expenses THOSE don’t cover
Wait a second is there going to be PVP in the metaverse if that's the case I'm going all in it's got to be like Nightmare on Elm Street though if you die in the metaverse you die in real life too
I actually met one of these Web 3 perverts on a train that had developed a crypto and was using that as a pitch to investors where he was asking for supposedly useless and dead Fiat for his crypto without once getting that simply doing that proves his crypto has no value. He was looking to pitch to Variant Investments to make gig pod life the norm

Have people forgotten the Second Life? 20 years ago they tried making this virtual paradise that is pretty much what the metaverse is promising. By the way, you can't stream Second Life on Twitch, one of the first games to get banned on the platform because it's a degenerate place. And metaverse will be too.

What if the music they play during corporate training videos was the entire world?

I can't wait to get turned out for a virtual pack of cigarettes
I assume the headset is already giving me cancer but does it also inject pure nicotine into my bloodstream?
Imagine going a whole day without virtual cigarettes, massive hit to your social credit score lemme tel ya’
I hope my virtual booty is worth more than cigarettes. A bottle of virtual vodka at least.
Turned out for WHAT??!!

I have listened to this episode like 3 or 4 times now. Just insanely funny riffing, enriched by the mordant subject matter and the scathing critique
When you have the opportunity to live in a corporate, Lo-Fi digital hellscape why wouldn't you jump on it?
an adequate UBI would seal the deal.

no, the orthodox church is part of the reason that anger exists.

World of Warcraft is the genuine metaverse and it sucks now
So how much more stupid can the Metaverse be than the one we already live in?
I think you would be surprised
It's just as stupid just much cheaper looking
It's controlled by the zuck
Imagine lagging IRL
welp, they're obviously working on it

I think these guys are overestimating how incrementally things actually change and how frequently we can restart the old and call it new.
