I agree with the last message of Ted.
Meta is a lure that prevents us from seeing Infra: 1) the classic
ideological critique - Meta conceals reality (environmental reality) -
hides that reality is what Meta produces; 2) Z does not care about the
quality of the lure, because it's not his problem
ard to see why "Meta" would be
of particular interest to many people on this list.
That said, a few thoughts — and don't be dissuaded by the massive block of text

I remember in the early ‘50’s being excited to go to a pioneering 3-D movie,
but they soon fell out of fashion. There followed a whole series of similar

I am a big fan of super cuts, still sacrificed last Sunday afternoon to go
through all the 60 "experiences" Zuckerberg promised "to unlock".

As at least 9000 others, I loved Sam Lavingne’s supercut of Zuckerberg’s Meta
demo.

I'm sure most of you have heard by now that Facebook is renaming itself
"Meta" and promoting a platform called "Metaverse", basically, a shared,
