Virtual Reality Quotes

“Mind instantiates oneself into matter. In a mathematical sense, matter is an “in-formed” pattern of mind. Time is emergent, and so is space. If space-time is emergent, so is mass-energy. All interactions in our physical world is computed by the larger consciousness system. In short, mind is more fundamental than matter. All realities are observer-centric virtualities.”

“If you ask me, our planet and our entire lives are a [virtual] construct of our own minds and the mind at large. If we were to decode the COVID-19 message coming from the transcendent realm, I would approximate it as: ‘The next phase of human evolution is clearly in the cards now: Consuming synthetic meat and being open to the connectivity explosion with immersive virtual worlds not for escapism but for expansion of the human creative imagination should become a conscientious choice for billions. The ‘Cradle Age’ is almost over.”

“A false image is, of course, a work of art, an idol. And a lie. A narcissist identifies with this image, not his true inner self. So, all he cares about is his image, not what kind of person he really is. Indeed, the latter has no real existence in his world. In identifying with his image, he's identifying with an ephemeral figment that has but virtual reality, a purely immanent existence as a reflection in the attention shone on him by others. No attention, no image. No image, no self!”

“When we stop reading, we pave the way toward book burning; when we stop caring, we make way for someone else to take over control; when we prefer personality to character, and reality show or virtual reality to reality itself, then we get the kind of politicians that we deserve.”

“Ci sono centinaia di aziende metaversiche che operano oggi. Senza standard condivisi e comuni, possono diventare rapidamente silos chiusi, limitando la navigazione degli utenti a un’unica piattaforma invece di consentirgli di navigare liberamente attraverso più mondi virtuali. Potresti avere un hotel in Spatial, ma lo stesso hotel potrebbe non essere accessibile su Horizon, per esempio. Ecco perché non mi piace parlare di Metaverso, perché non esiste una cosa del genere. Ci sono più Metaversi. Se e come interagiranno tra loro, in questa fase, non è altro che speculazione e la mancanza di interoperabilità crea sicuramente delle sfide complesse per l’adozione di massa del Metaverso.”

“L’idea originaria di un metaverso unico e interoperabile, una specie di internet immersivo, sebbene suggestiva, è difficilmente attuabile. Più facile è prevedere che avremo 5/6 metaversi mainstream così come oggi abbiamo 5/6 social network mainstream. Ecco se dovessi fare un paragone i metaversi sono più simili ai social che al world wide web. Ce ne sarà uno per lavorare, uno per incontrare gli amici, uno per gli incontri galanti e così via. La vera sfida oggi è capire quali e quante di queste startup metaversiche sopravviverà alla prima bolla.”

“Il concetto di innovazione è una leggenda metropolitana, come gli alligatori nelle fogne di New York o le figurine all’LSD. Non esiste l’innovazione. Esiste l’evoluzione. È semplice techno-Darwinismo: se un imprenditore pensa di poter rimanere nel business per i prossimi vent’anni con carta e penna o è un tecnoluddista o è imprenditorialmente cieco.”

“Credo che il tratto centrale dell’essere umano sia quello di innovare, di conoscere, di scoprire, di ribellarsi allo Status Quo. L'umanità nasce con il peccato originale. Prima di mangiare dall'albero della conoscenza eravamo semplicemente schiavi. Purtroppo, sembra che invece verso il superuomo Nietzschiano, stiamo tornando verso quei tempi bui. Alcuni imprenditori sono contenti di credere alle ombre della caverna di Platone, ma credo sia nostro dovere deontologico ed etico risvegliarle da questo tecno-torpore, anche se significa andare controcorrente.”

“Ricordi il volto della cassiera che ha scansionato i codici a barre della spesa che hai fatto al supermarket due settimane fa? No. E sai perché? Perché quello è un lavoro antiumano. Non evolveremo mai come specie fino a quando avremo i cassieri. Stessa cosa nel compartimento turistico. L’high-tech è percepita esattamente come l’opposto dell’high-touch ed è associata a un servizio inferiore. In realtà, Google offre spesso traduzioni molto più accurate della maggior parte dei camerieri stagionali sottopagati nei nostri ristoranti (e anche di molti nostri politici).”

“Yesterday we used to book on paper catalogs. Today we do it on Booking.com, and tomorrow we’ll use Decentraland. The Metaverse is not changing how we book or experience hotels and travel; it is simply changing the medium through which we do it. It is like saying that since we switched from booking from telephone to email, we have dematerialized travel. It’s pure nonsense.”

“DAOs can be the perfect solution to some of the pressing destination management problems we have today – for example, using NFTs to let different hospitality stakeholders decide how to run a populous tourism destination like Venice or Amsterdam more efficiently. You’re replacing the need for trust with cryptographic truth. It’s e-Democracy.”

“Everyone seems to suffer from "metaverse FOMO" right now. To a certain extent, it's like the mid-'90s all over again. During the internet boom, companies that added a ".com" suffix to their names (even though they had nothing to do with the Internet) experienced abnormal returns in terms of stock value. That's precisely what is happening with any brand with the words crypto, blockchain, metaverse, or Web3 attached to it.”

“At some point, almost overnight, everyone started talking about the metaverse. It was suddenly treated like the Next Big Thing, even though most of the central blocks of the metaverse (digital twins, iCommerce, Business-to-Avatar advertising, etc.) have been around for years. To make things worse, it makes no sense to me to see a bunch of experts talking ABOUT the metaverse in a 2D environment. It's like talking about the Internet possibilities over a fax machine.”

“The metaverse is evolutionary, not revolutionary. It will unlikely replace traveling tout-court, but it will definitely play a role in it, especially in the early, top-funnel touchpoints of the traveler's journey. Currently, we pick a hotel founding our decision based on photos, videos, and reviews only, while the metaverse could provide a more immersive experience, and allow us to immerse in a destination, book a hotel room or a restaurant table while sitting at our couch, and -eventually- live the experience in the physical world. It's what I call "travel research on steroids." No static image, 2D video, or website will ever be able to deliver a comparable experience. It's the next level of the "try before you buy" concept. And, quite frankly, we're just scratching the surface.”

“Interoperability is the biggest challenge for brands trying to enter the metaverse. The risk of betting in the wrong m-world and being left empty-handed in five years is real. Interoperability of platforms is not a prerequisite for the metaverse, but without it, we'll end up working in silos with the same (disastrous) Web 2.0's paradigm. We must make sure that environments, objects, avatars, NFTs, avatar skins, etc. can be moved from one platform to the other. I should be able to play Axie Infinity, sell my Axie on OpenSea, get paid in Ethereum, buy an avatar skin in Minecraft, and then wear it in Decentraland. That's the central concept of decentralization (and the core idea of Web 3.0). Are we there yet? Definitely not.”
