Metaverse: From Reality To Digital And Beyond?

To some the metaverse is nothing but Big-Tech’s marketing gimmick to sustain their highly successful business-model of monetizing user’s behavioral data.

Following the idea that dreams have an analogy to virtual experiences, it comes as no surprise that the metaverse implicates an enormous capacity for ‘dreamlike’ experiences beyond reality.

The metaverse may eventually come to define how we work, learn and socialise. In that respect its potential to influence our decision-making is enormous.

The questions looms whether individuals should  let themselves be ‘seduced’ to experience the artificial life as a source for decision-making, instead of using their own imaginative and creative capabilities.
