Here is food for thought for you @vincentkennedy
Many people have either glorified or demonized Meta aka anything metaverse.
(Either the next big thing or a soul snatcher.)
But theories aside...
Couldn't Meta/VR tech be used as a medium for people to meet individuals/entities beyond? other planets/beyond the ice wall
Games R Fun :)
A lot of people have been programmed/conditioned, waking up can be scary, but I think people would feel more comfortable meeting a
"👽" from wherever, Online) than in person at first, to help break that mental and communication barrier.
(I know U KNOW)
