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.
