The Art & Science of Metawar – How to Co-Exist With AI-Driven Reality Distortion, Disinformation, & Addiction in the Metaverse
"The Metaverse is the Most Powerful, Addictive, Reality Distortion Machine Ever Conceived… and it Can Predict the Future.
The metaverse is misunderstood. It’s not Ready Player One or Snow Crash - at least not today and despite what Big Tech promises. That’s a long way off.
The metaverse is simply an evolving storytelling environment in which humans have congregated for millennia to experience alternate, immersive, and simulated realities, with or without technology. Storytelling is designed to influence mental and physical perceptions suiting the purposes of the content creators.
Metawar is the art of applying science to create and defend against the influence of alternate realities in any version of the metaverse. What if we can longer rely on our senses to determine what is real and what is fiction?
My research into Metawar initially focused on metaversal technologies. Unexpectedly, it morphed into an intensely personal experience, triggering my own Metanoia, which had a profound impact on the entire Metawar Thesis."
