From Meta to Better
Once a techy, always a techy... Though Facebook and its founders were key transformers of online space from a technically gated one into populist playground, with the “metaverse” their original will to “dominate” is inevitably migrating from real worlds so limiting for many including the poor, disabled, and, in the current case of the Ukraine, ethno-culturally victimized, to a meta (above and beyond) type science fiction realm. The above and beyond TorontotheBetter seeks is not primarily a technological one but a world of sufficiency for all, without hunger or prejudice. In other words the Meta of Better, not just humanly empty outer space. Up there in the Meta, there is no sound or sight or taste, Or human society. It is still and silent up there, despite the loud advertising that is coming. Maybe r=there will be answers out there in the Meta ether, but there should be a clear path from Meta to Better as we continue our long journey.
