I would rather be wrong while pushing something I 100% believe in, instead of being right on smaller bets that don’t matter much.

Simple and easy, eh?
1 long read
DO YOU UNDERSTAND YET? The Apple Vision Pro announcement helped bring the topic back up. The future for all of humanity looks very different… whether you like it or not — AR and VR headsets will become the norm. Humans won’t touch the grass. They will spend most of their time in headsets.
And for the above, in Sep 2021: “the value of traditional assets primarily used as a flex (expensive paintings, lambos, clothes) derives from digitally flexing with videos or pictures on social media”
1 piece of advice from me
Please, spend 1 hour reading up on how humans spend more time in the digital world than the physical in the last 15 years. Spend some time in VR. Get a headset if you haven’t yet and speak to someone in VR chat. Have a real conversation with another avatar. It will help you understand why the future is exciting.
Had a Quest for a long time, only played solo games. One day I accidentaly joined a bigscreen waiting room or something, saw an avatar and it talked to me. I thought it was an npc, then I said something stupid and it kept answering. Realizing it was a person was a feeling I can't describe, how stupid to say this but it really made an impact on me, it felt awesome, the person was from the other side of the world, seamless conversation, awesome.
