People in 2040 searching on KZfaq: How to live in reality or what is reality and how can we live in reality?

The problem is never the tool, It is the way you use it. VR is such a powerful tool. People will be addicted because they will compensate from a lack of life purpose and their malaise…like phones today. As Bob Marley said : You can’t run away from yourself. Good luck everyone.

Work on yourself, there is no limit to what you can achieve. Trade bitcoin today and become a future millionaire. Don't let the new online money opportunity pass you by. Fortunately great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance.

Before they build the metaverse, could someone fix the outdoor speaker at my local drive through? I can't understand the employee taking orders that is inside only 30 feet away and I have to ask them to repeat themselves.

“VR mimics our reality but makes it more immersive.” I truly hope future generations don’t find VR more immersive than reality itself.

I'm gonna go for a run outside, in nature.

I wonder if VR could help feed the hungry, protect whats left of the rainforest, and teach our children the joy of serving others out of kindness and compassion... OR might it eventually leave us feeling even more isolated, unsatisfied, and morally bankrupt than cell phones and computers have already.

As soon as this technology becomes easily accessible and affordable to the average person, everyone will pick it up instantly

this is the prologue to every dystopian scifi novel.

People acting like its the end of the world yet its just an advanced immersive video game. A chance to interact with your family that lives on the other side world. Another creative way to work and express yourself. I’m all for nature and going outside, and I also enjoy video games and technology. It’s up to you to have balance in your own life.

Imagine the tedx talk in metaverse interupts with an spotify ads

"Meta" means something entirely different than "beyond, future". Ironically, widespread adoption before an unbiased meta analysis of the human implications is the scariest thing about the Metaverse.

"You Take The Red Pill - You Stay In Wonderland, And I Show You How Deep The Rabbit Hole Goes." “Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?” “What is real? How do you define ‘real’? If you’re talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then ‘real’ is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.” “The Matrix is a computer-generated dream world, built to keep us under control in order to change a human being into this.” “You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.”

The future scares me a bit

No one is talking about mental health in this topics. "We are already staring at our phones 100 times per day" - this is not OK. We need to understand how to deal with this new technology the healthy way, and then move in it's direction. Last 14 years showed how fast people become addicted to phones and social approvment, when they feel bad in real life. Imagine how quickly they'll give their life to virtual reality when it become cheap. Ofcourse that's exactly what creators of VR products (such as the speaker) want us to do.

This is 'The Matrix'

I'm glad many people are calling this out for what it is. This is the beginning of the end for human society. It's part of the great reset (You'll own nothing and be happy). Unfortunately that's the joke, people won't be happy. Terrible things come from trying to escape reality. Big things, and bad things, come from small beginnings.

The VR audience made me laugh so hard

People in 2019 = do we live in a simulation? People in 2050 living in the simulation = Are we living in a universe?

METAVERSE IS THE FUTURE: Name another industry that combines finance, fashion, entertainment, social platforms, art, vr, ar, etc.

What better way for an entity to subdue the public than have them spend all their energy and time in a fake world instead of effecting change in the real world...

Technology is not inherently dangerous, disruptive or corrupted but mankind has proven over and over again, we'll always find a way to make it so. I honestly fear what this will end up being used for. I don't like the idea of telling other people what they should or shouldn't do with their lives, but stuff like this reminds me to rely less on tech and get more involved with the actual world around me.

as an introvert, i am still confused if I should celebrate or not with this new tech

This technology is truly amazing. I am a little bit worried about the future of humanity if this becomes mainstream, because some people will become fully absorbed onto it. At the same time though, we still have the choice to take our headset off and go spend some time in a park, or at a real concert, and at the end of the day it will be up to us as individuals to not allow this to replace the things we have, but rather just make some of them better - because personally I would love to attend many different events that I just don't have access to in South Africa.

I'm very excited for future . Only concern is that metaverse should be open source not owned by any single corporation.

An escape for some from the reality that they should actually face and change for the better. Technological advancement as a tool I can see the sense for the Metaverse, but is tricky from a social perspective from my perspective. And lets not start with that fact that the Metaverse will only work with nations that have stable networks or internet. Good luck to those nations still struggling to even get a stable 1Mbps speeds.

All you people whining about the meta verse are the same people who would rather be in a car than ride a bicycle. Technology is moving forward, and there’s no stopping it.

It’s beautiful to see so many people awake. No to distopic Great reset from Italy🇮🇹♥️ united we will win

hopefully our love for the metaverse will encourage us to dedicate our time in reality to saving earth

A clever way to read his transcript during the talk

Commenting to be a part of history.

Most time having knowledge or insight about a particular activity can as well be a pleasing exercise. I can boldly say that forex and crypto trading is one of the profitable money exchange services that elevates investors and their financial status

That full body haptic suit is badass. Would love to try it for VR gaming

After watching this video I am even more willing to be back in my old, pre con-vid, world :-)

COVID was preparing us for this, to be isolated and feel “good” in a “perfect virtual universe”….. so sad, people not actually walking or hanging out, really sad that people will believe this is the answer. Please go to nature and remember that we are part of it🌱

Now my wife can own me in the universe and the metaverse

Vr is game changer in the future. It's immensely exciting. That's great thing that I strongly hope that i will get it..

I like the practical demonstration of any talk. Well done!

"it mimics reality but making it more immersive" kind of tells it all...

Ready Player One🤤🤤🤤 Insane!

You said it all yourself man... 😂 "think about mobile phones 15 years ago, who would have thought that we will be staring at our screens 100 times per day, spending HOURS and become COMPLETELY DEPENDENT on this amazing technology?" 😂 ...oh yeah, LET'S DO THAT AGAIN GUYS, and this time let's forget we have an even more amazing technology called our BODY, which we'll simply stop listening and taking proper care of. 🥳

This is going to do more harm than good to greater society. It should remain a niche area of interest for a few more decades. If this hits the mainstream, we have a problem.

It's not about escaping reality but adding a layer to reality. This is us trying to reach the 4th dimension. A cartoon trying to draw itself.

Decentralization of ownership is a key of the metaverse, anything is created in the metaverse should be long to everyone in the metaverse. The real world has scarcity for the moment which is why ownership is a useful tool, but in the world where there is no scarcity, artificial scarcity harms the value of the community. Of course there's scarcity in service so you can still monetize your actions just not your products.

I love my real universe, the way nature looks... Dont need glasses for those

I didn't know TED did advertising.

good talk, but I am glad to be born before this.

Wow we humans are still dealing with a lot of problems. How many of us think we really need this technology?

The younger generations are more susceptible to liking these cyber ideas that don’t involve true human connection physically. And on top of it there are going to be long term and possible short term health effects of our brain and body that our society will eventually have to deal with before people in the future realize what the heck we were thinking in this present time. I’ve put on a PS4 virtual headset before for only like 20 min and I had one of the worse headaches of my life. Now that’s just 20 min imagine the effectuations after days played with this on. Jeeeeze.

The future as envisioned by those not seemingly able to fully appreciate the true beauty of our natural universal life seen through our natural lens and the beauty of human connection without the use of technology.

Good to hear from you Artur! Great work.

“I hope you think I’m crazy” Yes. This is insane.

What problem is being solved here exactly??? What’s the use of owning things virtually if they can’t assist you in reality, the real advertising for this should be “we kept you on your phones long enough, now you have the chance to become the phone, really get lost in it literally”

This might not be the best example that will last, but this is definitely the beginning of the next big leap in the humanity and human technology

So the poor owns everything in the meta verse while the rich owns everything in the real world sounds great 👍🏾

If wanna learn what not to do, I'll watch a ted talk

Can you imagine how the world will change after 20 years. AR VR are the next gen technologies.

Meta NFT Ethereum !

That's dystopian AF

Wow. Soon we will live in artificial reality. Just like ready player one

All these new Ideas and visions are always good UNTIL you find out who are behind them, who are creating them, who are pushing them to MS, who are the ones heavily invested in them (because they're the same ones 0.001% owners of the entire global financial system)

For Metaverse to Succeed it can't be in the hand of a single company a monopoly. A monopoly will always incentivize the business model to work as it is meaning the selling of info to companies to better market their products. Internet was meant to be bigger than this meaning anyone can create then later send and receive content on a large scale on their chosen platform. Currently, a Machine is able to understand the net through metadata. Internet is an enabler it should not only remain as such but be a safe space place we can be ourselves without any interference and create and share information without any bias.

Absolutely on point for discussions today! Thank you for explaining what a Metaverse really is!

People we are from nature, dont lose the connection to our mother.

I'm getting up to "that age" where I'm starting to lose touch with technology but I'm still young enough to be highly interested in it. I really want to join in on this idea and I look forward to seeing what the future of AR looks like. But... right now, I am completely lost. How does one get started with the VR experience? Any tips or advice? I read a few articles about the future of real estate in the Metaverse and as a middle aged woman who has missed out on many opportunities to invest in the past...I don't want to miss out on the possibility of a wonderful opportunity, IF there even IS an opportunity for real estate ownership in the VR world in the future. What do you guys think? And...IF owning VR real estate is going to happen... how would I invest in it? I don't want to get rich (although, I'm not opposed lol)... but if good money can be made, I'd absolutely be happy with just enough so that I never have to worry about which utility bill will have to wait until next payday. I just don't want to struggle anymore... honestly?...I want enough money so that my children don't have to struggle and scrape to pay my final living expenses when it's my time to cross over and I want them and my two grandchildren (so far) to always have a home to live in...i have experienced homelessness and I will do whatever I need to do so that my kids and grandkids don't have to experience it after I'm gone. I don't want to be rich... but I want to be stable. And... just throwing this out there...I thought that this new VR world would finally get rid of the financial separation of society...I thought it would finally make everyone even. A new slate. A fresh start with no greedy corporations and government leaders making billions of dollars off the backs of the working class... it's getting old and I'm exhausted from this neverending cycle of working and struggling, working and struggling, working and struggling... with no freedom from this prison that I call life, anywhere in my future. anyway... getting off topic a bit...I just need some suggestions and opinions please. If I should invest...tell me, please...I'm tired of missing opportunities all of the time. I don't even know if I could even afford to invest in VR real estate...I certainly can't afford to invest out here, in the "real world" but...if a majority honestly believes that VR real estate investments are going to happen in the near future and that I could potentially live in an actual house instead of a deteriorating mobile home...let me know what steps I should be taking to make that happen please. Keep in mind that I know absolutely nothing about this stuff... I appreciate your advice, tips and opinions. Maybe, in a few years we can all meet up on the digital pool patio/terrace at a fancy, digital highrise condo with a beautiful, digital infinity pool and Jacuzzi, and sip a digital margarita! Cheers to the future 🥂

This is literally then next iteration of social interaction and technology

What he did not even care to say about : This will strain your eyes even more than what we experience from daily phone and computer screens! Now feel social media insecurities like never before in a virtual world! Get mental problems and take poor life decisions and purchase more abstract assets which is of no use! Now let all companies know all about your human behaviour, surroundings, your activities and probably it would be better if you gave your house key! Forget about nature, the real world, the real workplace and real people like never before! Let us place adverts in unavoidable places and brainwash you more!

Thanks. Understood Metaverse better through this TED talk. Henceforth, when I read any material on Metaverse, I will be able to connect to the author. All the best.

Don’t go outside. Don’t see, hug, and connect with your friends and family in real life. Just put on these goggles, weird suit, hand contraptions and stay in your small dark room to live your life. Right, Mark… right…

Isn't EVERYTHING within our reality? People talk about "escaping reality" but technically, virtual reality is a part of reality...The internet, VR, drugs etc... are PART of our reality, right?

*I wish nothing but success to everyone and my future itself. We all have hardships and struggles that throw us down. We sometimes get too comfortable down there and make friends with dirt. Nothing is everlasting in this world so make it count, no matter how small it may be. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder* Love from a small KZfaqr💖

the duality

everyone is so negative when it comes to new technology! I love it

I like real life. I like nature. This is an effort to dehumanizing which looks inevitable. I m worried about the younger generation

I'm excited and terrified at the same time.

I just don't feel Artur was being "real" with us. Great talk and the Metaverse is here!

Dissatisfied with real life? Well...

Why can’t we just live in the real world?💁

Adaptation Is Key to Survival

Knowledge and research are crucial parts of investing, This is why I've made Astronomical returns

Say no to the metaverse it will consume your soul.. truly..

"if you die in the metaverse, you die in real life"

Sounds Good. All you sheep sign up, stay in your home and glued to your computer. More room and less people for the real ones that still enjoy going outside and doing real activities. National parks are going to be great to visit again !!

All I wanted was a news feed in chronological order unfiltered. Instead I got a screen bolted to my head, still displaying filtered content.

This is actually kind of depressing. He kept saying "connected" and "socialize" but it will actually reduce both. The only sense you will use to communicate is hearing. No more touch, smell, or seeing the person (or taste lol) when you communicate.

There are a lot of hateful comments but I actually think VR is an amazing technology and can give us many good things. Of course I don't support the idea of immersing yourself fully in a virtual world and leaving behind your real life, but it would be great to be able to meet "in person" people from around the world and actually feel their touch! That's the problem of today's world - people lack social interactions. People are often hostile toward each other. But in a virtual world, I imagine there would be people that just want to talk to each other and hang out. Social interactions are really important and if we could make them easier and still realistic at the same time, it would be great. It could also open new possibilities for different mental health therapies. I'm actually looking forward to seeing how it all turns out. I'm only worried how all this new technology will impact our planet...

Whilst concerns about the MetaVerse are valid it’s extremely important to make the distinction between centralised and decentralised. What this presentation and Somnium Space is about creating an open, decentralised MetaVerse where people get to own there in game assets and no singular entity individual or company has control over the virtual world. This is directly in opposition to what Zuckerberg is trying to create with Meta. Artur Sychov is an opponent of what Mark is proposing, not an ally. They have completely different goals. One is about totalitarian control and the other is about creating an interesting digital world where we can have fascinating experiences to SUPPLEMENT our life, not REPLACE it, it is not natural life or metaverse, they coexist.

Thank you

But can you smell something in metaverse?

By the way we're already living inside a VR simulation, why do we need to get more disconnected by going deeper into the matrix?

Hey don't worry, we're just creating the next simulation from the one we're living in, and they also won't have a clue that we were the creators (got to keep it a secret, it's part of the fun)

Most of the comments seem to know we are all screwed . But it just continues . Be real and keep it natural . Pray for the children .

Watch movie ready player one

This is so scary omg

Lain was right.Lets all love Lain

We are moving towards SAO IRL . Dream come true

Discussed this with my marketing team mates 8 years ago and here it is, finally consciousness able to make this happen! Thank you amazing Universe for making people answering the calls and prayers.

Ah, yes... the metaverse: the future opium of the people.

That moment when your university becomes famous for the most unexpected thing
