GerdTalks Episode 2 by Futurist Gerd Leonhard | The 'metaverse' (Audio-version only)

Audio-only versions of Futurist Gerd Leonhard's keynotes

Here is an edited and improved version (much better audio) of my January 31 '22 session for my Youtube subscribers, social media followers, readers and viewers, on the #metaverse (or rather, what I call the MetaPERverse :). The q&a session is not included here but you can watch it on the live-stream replay version here: https://youtu.be/IwWOmXj2WJE "The so-called metaverse is the latest and the boldest attempt to replace human relationships and experiences with highly monetizable simulations, reducing complex human life to data feeds, fancy graphics and AI-fuelled convenience: Consensual hallucinations sold as ‘human empowerment'. We should be careful what we wish for – such as to live in an ultra-convenient, amazing new world where we can be anyone and do anything – as we may find that our new virtual dwellings may seemingly allow us to gain a few new riches while endangering our very humanity and leading us away from real happiness" Go to http://www.themetaperverse.com to get the latest updates!
