A map of the metaverse: Hashtag Trending Weekend Edition

A map of the metaverse: Hashtag Trending Weekend Edition

Welcome to Hashtag Trending, the Weekend Edition with your host Jim Really like.

Previously this calendar year we did a sequence on the Metaverse for one more podcast series I host with my colleague Doug Sparkes called  a “Deeper Dive.”  That sequence is however effectively well worth listening to in its entirety, but about earlier months I’ve been imagining a ton about a single individual episode we termed a “map of the metaverse(s)”

We took the plan from the book Snowcrash, the place the time period metaverse was 1st made use of. In that guide, there have been a number of nations or city states every single with their have regulations. They experienced there possess citizenship and policies. A lot of of them were being run by organizations or eccentric rich people who were being the “dictators” who dominated those worlds. Sound familiar?

You could travel involving them but you did so at some danger. They had been tribal and usually dealt with immigrants and travellers with suspicion and occasionally with hostility.

The idea in the e book was so near to what we observed emerging in the metaverse as it was unfolding IRL (in actual life).  We saw a aggressive established of contenders all making an attempt to make a stake in the new metaverse(s).  So I considered, what if I explained the rising metaverse as if it was a environment and we could map out the the various wannabe city states.

The consequence was this episode.  I hope you’ll uncover it fascinating.  It may help make conceptual  perception of some of the items that are emerging in this article and now.

One past notice.  There are a variety of content articles emerging now that communicate about how the metaverse is failing, how Zuckerberg is getting rid of hundreds of billions or how the metaverse has grow to be what sporting activities icon Yogi Berra claimed about places to eat in New York. “Nobody goes there for the reason that it’s too crowded.”

We preferred to skirt both the posture of the correct believer and the cynic. In our feeling, the metaverse is unavoidable. What form it will take or in our parlance, what state or alliance of nations around the world earn is not.

Love!
