A cool concept to make sense of the metaverse is that of a "total institution": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_ins…

For all the mockery, it's the logical next step. We've transitioned from user-operated computers to controlled environments shaped by behavioural experimentation, but there's only so much you can optimise and control on a small screen. Immersive pushes the frontier.

Remember when knowing how to use a computer meant you weren't on Team Discipline? Good times.
