Long term there is no question that there will be some kind of Matrix internet everyone Sword Art Onlines in, but that will probably be a long way off.
Linden Labs really screwed the pooch. They had years to optimize their client-server model. Then literally all they had to do was add a VR FPS mode to the client and they would be the next Ready Player One. What did they do instead? "Let's make a whole new VR game with curated worlds and limited freedom like the other hundred basic bitch NFT sandbox platforms out there."
Being HQ'ed in San Francisco, this should come as no surprise. Everything woke turns to shit.
We're in the middle of the long collapse. Eventually we'll either balkanize, become a puppet state of China, or reform as a literal American Empire. (and not a gayass economic empire this time)
If the US splits, it's just going to split in 2 along red/blue lines, not to balkanize.
LOL at puppet of China. China is a fucking mess and can't even run their own country, let alone anyone else. Everyone hates China, too. China isn't going to be some grand empire when the CCP is weak as shit and surrounded by enemies.
And no, the US isn't going to become an empire. The US is the military guarantor of a loose coalition of primarily democratic states with capitalist economies who share roughly common values and desire to promote world trade.

Second Life gave us one good thing, and one good thing only:
Xavier: Renegade Angel
I think the infrastructure required for that will collapse with the west.
the west isn't going to collapse, dude, that's doomer hysteria
Its already collapsing culturally and socially.
The question isnt even if at this point, its when.
