    So much effort to sell literally nothing to absolutely nobody. What even stage of capitalism is this?

    If anyone is wondering what the hell is going on, it's our elites who are heavily into transhumanism. They're going to inject their brains into computers and live forever that way.

    The other faction believes that WE must live our lives this way. Instead of living in the real world where we can deal with reality and possibly overthrow them for being so horrid, they're going to make a serious push for "hey everyone this meta world is super cool! everyone tune in, turn on and drop out!" They want you to live your life where they control literally everything. You really have to wonder about people who read Brave New World and 1984 in high school and instead of being horrified thought "wow, that is totally awesome and when I grow up I'm going to inflict that on people."

    You're going to live in the pod, eat the bugs, own nothing and be happy. Or else.

      Like zizek said on his last appearance on chapo, they are quite literally closing the commons of our human community, where they will soon own the very medium through which we communicate.

    I really need to get in on this NFT thing. Fuck it. The only real option is to make as much money as you can so you can have as much spare time as you want/need to be fulfilled. The cope can start moralizing about the environment, but me refusing to do NFTs is not going to stop climate change. We're locked in no matter what we do short of becoming terrorists and promptly dying for the cause. I can't do podcasting but I can make 100 little pictures and hope to sell them for a markup on minting costs. I'd rather do that for a living than do hard labor that just results in someone else getting richer.

        That definitely is a lot of it that doesn't usually get mentioned. It's a marketing thing. Just making the NFT is one part but then you have to build a community around it who will invest in it and make it more popular. That's why all these businesses are getting in on it as a marketing gimmick. They already have the community via their customer base. They already have a platform to push it.

            Today western popular culture has by and large ceased to create anything new. All the handful of IP rights conglomerates who own our culture do is to regurgitate decades-old box office hits.

    What is it with NFT's and looking like complete shit? They are consistently some of the most hideous images I have ever seen

    I'm hoping that people push back against this metaverse bullshit

    Like everything else, it's something that legitimately could've been cool and fun but it was co-opted by capitalists and will bring us further into hell world
