But we already have this dream. It's called the internet. And video games. And movies. :)

The question of "metaverse" is: 1. Do we need a head strapped device? Does it add enough to the experience to justify it? 2. Do we need those experiences be more connected and owned by one rent collecting platform?

My answer to both is a firm no, both make it strictly worse. But it's a personal answer, we'll see. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(Meta obviously wants it to be double "yes" to sell those head strapped devices and collect this rent. But this doesn't make it true)
