I hadn’t seen or heard commentary like this before. Usually ppl talk about games, user experience, or just flat out dystopian futures. How organizational dynamics work in the metaverse is a foreign concept to me, to say the least. But I bet people here have some smart things to say!
I have nothing but questions… What kind of informal standards and regulatory bodies have emerged in existing quasi-metaverses? How much anarchy will people tolerate? Is the concept of a Metaverse dystopian and toxic (think Snowcrash) or is it life-affirming play (think Homo Ludens)?
