Sounds like Zuckerberg is getting high off of his own fumes. This is the 2021 version of "Facebook is changing the world!"

Also, Second Life did it first in 2006.

Zuck wasn't wrong when he said this, I just don't think the change he had in mind was giving a platform to anti-vax conspiracy theorists and helping Russian troll farms influence U.S. elections. That is one way to change the world though.

Second Life was awesome, but it owes a ton of intellectual debt to The Palace from the 1990s, which had a robust and functional version of FORTH built into it.
