The gaming will be awesome, no doubt.

But… you’re not going to have time for that. This is going to take over the ‘virtual workplace’ and thus you will spend most of your life with all of your actions and surroundings monitored to make sure you’re doing some meaningless task and nothing else.

People say it’s a horrible idea. They hate it. Tough. Your company will require it. It’s nothing for them. The future of work is going to make sweat shops look like lollapalooza.

That sounds rough. The return to office mandates were only the start of it, weren't they? Are you going into construction instead?

Unions.

Its illegal for unions to actually operate to make measurable change for their constituents.

And the union leaders don't have the balls to strike fully to actually make the company hurt enough to make an actual good deal for the workers.

Coal minors union was fantastic for automating nearly everything.

Autoworkers union managed to return much of Detroit back to nature.

China and Mexican have blossomed from unions efforts.

Employment is a global market now. Unions will just cause cheaper more desperate employees overseas to have to wear the headsets while the union members collect unemployment.

We could, oh, I don’t know, build local work groups and refuse to accept US dollars locally.

There are other frequencies we can speak, and geometry we can “draw” on the globe via agency. No need to constrain them to ephemeral value stores and chants of the last 60-70 years.

It’s pretty sad how we set aside our self guided learning to prop up gadgets to prop up some hallucinated figurative view of the world we had foisted on us.

I feel zero obligation to play host to a mind virus that preserves Zuckerberg and crews figurative identity. I only do so as a pragmatic acquiescence given the other primates fealty. It’s gross.

I'm sure regulators will have a field day when that comes
