Most people are average. I mean the vast majority. Average in looks, income, talent... everything. But social media and modern culture have been dumbed down to make average people feel like superstars. Fat acceptance and trying to push fat female sex symbols has been to normalize a forever fattening populace. There’s a reason why all new movies, music and culture are mediocre at best today. It’s because regular people are tired of being regular and most of all feeling regular. All the new movies are the same super hero movies over and over again, music is disposable and has no replay value and people don’t even have the attention span to listen to a song over 2 minutes long. Back in the 70’s, the average song was like 6-7+ minutes long because it included lengthy guitar or saxophone solos. TikTok is so popular because average people love watching other average people.

Everybody cosplays as a rapper now because literally anybody can be a rapper thanks to the Internet and social media. Back in the 90’s, you had to be from the hood to be a rapper and had to actually have some talent to make good music. Before Rap, you actually had to have the talent to sing and or play instruments to make music.

Women are tired of not being perfect ten dimes, so they fly out to Colombia to get BBL’s, lip injections, lipo, breast aug and come back as the six thousand dollar woman feeling like they are the six million dollar woman. And these bionic GMO hoes are lusted over all over social media when women who are natural dimes are harder to find and have less followers on social media.

Everyone is a celebrity who needs every detail of their life to be shared 24/7. Even if they have no talent. 100 year old Eurocac luxury brands that catered to the rich for decades now cater to middle class and poor folks who want to look rich. And influencers make you believe the finest clothes you can buy are hoodies that look no different from that worn out Champion hoodie you had in college and the Asics cacs use to mow the lawn in. Stuff that retails for a $100 that cost $5 to make resells for $2000+ and everybody wants it. And even the “authentic” shyt is so cheaply made that the bootlegs are 1:1, so everybody can have it. Pajamas and nasty ass worn out Crocs are acceptable to wear almost anywhere now and no one bats an eye. Social media has it so everybody dresses the same and listens to the same music across all socioeconomic brackets.

Everybody thinks they are rich now. When the people who are truly rich owe no debt, pay almost no taxes and can buy NFL teams, fukking fly to Mars and they make what fake rich people make a year in literally a minute or less. But somehow people who make three times as much as an Amazon delivery driver think and buy everything on credit they are rich now. Because no one wants to be middle class and fukking average.

All that sense can’t generate enough dollars to change the system, though.




Don’t even ask me how.

:wow:

Simulation and simulacra aka copies without originals.

All of this is to set the stage for the next level of the Game in which people are jacked into the Metaverse 24/7 from birth to death which is what I suspect is already happening ergo a dream within a dream within a dream that the sleeping accept as real only because they don't know the deal.

"In a few decades or so when the web has closed its digital grip on the minds of those who still dwell upon this planet would you, if offered, jump at the chance to upload your awareness online. Full-time. The real you would be held in a suspended state just above dead that would prevent malfunction and ageing by freezing you instead. Your awareness however would live full time in the web for as long as your provider cashed the cheques otherwise they’d eject and throw you back into flesh."

Off topic, but i dont see this as dystopian. I see many of the social issues of humanity disapeearing if most of us enter a metaverse environment. For example, racism/nationalism/sexism/agism etc become irrelivant once the physical meeting is abolished. Violence as a concept disappears overnight.


The only discrepancies would be the wealth of people before entering such a world. Such things would determine how good their virtual lives would be relative to others, but keep in mind that based on this thread, most people have avg wealth, so that seems like another ground for digital equality for the masses.



Any thoughts?

Are you dumb? the world is what it is mane stop trying to search for something better (or worse to justify your failures). Live in reality and all your problems will be solvable.

Typical Gen X bytching and crying about shyt they're responsible for.

Are you average op? Do you strive for mediocrity? @LunaticVillage415

Also the whole post is ironic considering how highly you seem to think of your opinions and perceptions of the world. If you weren't so average you'd be able to actually influence society instead of just complain no?

I think we're already in the metaverse environment. That is what "reality" is hence the Game of Souls. An artificial cyclic approximation of an open world experience that just keeps repeating itself pulling people further and further in as they don't see the nature of the illusion they're caught up in.

Thats why the world is messed up. Its on purpose at this point to make the Meta choice seem like not only a viable but preferred option for those who just want to get away from it all when they were just getting away from it all after getting away from it all...

I'm not the first one to say this, nor the last and I'm not going off theory but actual experience because none of this is what it seems to be. Much like a dream it seems perfectly feasible until contrasted with another POV. If all you know if the Game then you're a Slave. The Warrior is one who realizes this and is on a quest for knowledge of Self that brings transcendence because, ultimately, everything you see is occurring inside your awareness ergo you hold the power within.

Two things.



First, that 3d projection is trippy. :ohhh:





Second, what do you see as the end goal. Im familiar with the simulation hypothesis, and im aware that i can neither prove nor disprove it. But where do you see this all going. It seems like we are making a simulation within a simulation with the metaverse concept. Do you for see a deeper cascade of more simulations within that simulation, kinda like inception, or perhaps a matrioska doll?



Follow up question/ bonus point. Does it matter whether(or not) we are in the simulation if we can never escape it? For example, does a fish in a pond need to comprehend the enormity of larger bodies of water like oceans, if it can never leave its pond? I struggle with the warrior concept if that warrior cannot make a dent in the system because of the constraints of that aforementioned system.
