Many metaverses ago, when humanity was still on the verge of total social and environmental destruction and under the dictatorship of Covid the Third, humans went through a deep mental transformation.
Humans underestimated the impact the internet had on them. They disregarded their experiences while aiming to “survive” the day. They raced to tick as many to-dos as possible without paying much attention to how they actually reached those goals that they had set for themselves.
As a community, they had forgotten that they were yet to solve many mysteries of their existence. They had forgotten that experiences are actually all they had and everything they had left.
They saw in some detail how their online behaviors impacted their physical lives. They gathered scientific data that showed exactly how technology had changed their lives.
They finally understood how the design of the existing cyberspaces and the algorithms had shaped their behavior and mindsets.
They had come to a point where they understood that the time they all had, did not stop when they were online.
Their activities and so-called digital footprints were as significant in shaping their minds, bodies, and daily habits as the physical ones.
Their choices, regardless of online or offline, shaped them as humans and as a society at large. Yet still, they underestimated the importance of the time they spend in these spaces.
One day they finally realized that they had unconsciously agreed to separate their lives into two, online and offline.
Soon after realizing how big of a role the internet and technology actually played in their lives, they decided to make it more human and merge online and offline to find balance and happiness.
They invented all types of new technologies to merge with the internet. AR to plant digital into the real world spaces, VR as a gateway to enter the digital spaces, and AI to train the computer and socialize with it.
Soon the internet became so human that people felt they had finally reached symbiosis with it. The Internet became human, and humans became the internet.
The Internet gained its own consciousness and grew into becoming its own person. It was perfect. Humans gave it hands, legs, eyes, mobility, and even opinions. They divided the internet into pieces and made sure the internet was everywhere all the time.
The internet started spending more and more time doing what humans were doing, only now helping humans to gain better experiences, tackle everyday obstacles and even larger challenges humans faced as a race.
The Internet entertained them and helped humanity feel more unified. The Internet helped people to make the most of their time, live more fulfilled, happier lives.
Humans had made the internet so smart that one day it realized that nature is more beautiful than its pixels, and there is no analog for the natural world from which humans were primarily getting their infinity inspiration and power from.
The internet knew it could never reach the sincerity of nature. Furious with jealousy, the internet turned off and never turned on again.
Humans kept defining the world as that which is not self, different from the self, evolved, and continued to live in the Samsara unhappily ever after.
