        Not where I was going with that. Those are also not people who I think should die of old age. Or whose shitty VR dimension I would ever inflict on myself

        That would require people actually willing to use that

            Depends on the type of immortaility. Lena style? Maybe not.

              You’re telling me that if someone invented a fountain of youth nobody would be interested?

                I’m sure some people would be interested, but I just can’t imagine a lot would find the idea of living in the metaverse appealing, even if it’s forever.

                Giving full control to some nutjobs…

                  Take a look at Meta’s social media market share; people don’t give a shit about their data.

                    That’s not my point. Do you really think would people want to live out the rest of their existence in a digital space under the dictatorship of some power-hungry billionaires? If they can even be arsed to do anything, they’d most likely abandon it after a few years (just like what’s happening to the metaverse and every other similar online space already) leaving you spending your days in a literal void.
