The metaverse is a digital mechanism that enables you to live inside your head [see photo].
To support this new "headspace" life the individual must disconnect himself, or herself, from normal routines with familial, work, education, community, etc. The metaverse is a world that exists, and persists, inside your head and that is why it can not thrive without a huge shift in the redistribution of income from those who work to those who do not. For the metaverse to become a commercial success the users will need more and more support from those who work and pay taxes in the mundane world.
The metaverse will be a dud because it will be boring. The reason is that the metaverse depends on networking the minds of individuals; and, when you do that you get "one think". Inside the metaverse the imagination, and creativity, of individuals will be vaporised. Thus the metaverse will produce huge "mind silos" where ideas, creativity, deviance, etc go to die. The metaverse is a "closed loop network" that will fill-up with entropy until it implodes.
