Summary

This is a conversation about what makes the proposed metaverse ("a hypothetical iteration of the Internet as a single, universal virtual world that is facilitated by the use of virtual and augmented reality headsets") so awful and terrifying, especially when viewed through the principles of degrowth. The episode ends on a positive note, with a discussion of our 'SDGs', or Solacene Degrowth Goals, to accompany those of the U.N.
