This is a special session for all of my Youtube subscribers, social media followers, readers and viewers, on the the #metaverse - or what I have started calling the MetaPERverse :). Please sign up to be notified here on YT. The session is at 6pm CET, 5pm UK, 12 noon EST, 9am PST, 10pm Dubai etc...

I will present my thoughts on the ideas behind the metaverse (15 minutes) and outline where I think this is going, followed by 20 minutes open q&a right here via Youtube chat / comments

"The so-called metaverse is the latest and the boldest attempt to replace human relationships and experiences with highly monetizable simulations, reducing complex human life to data feeds, fancy graphics and AI-fuelled convenience: Consensual hallucinations sold as ‘human empowerment'. We should be careful what we wish for – such as to live in an ultra-convenient, amazing new world where we can be anyone and do anything – as we may find that our new virtual dwellings may seemingly allow us to gain a few new riches while endangering our very humanity and leading us away from real happiness"
