This time of year is a good opportunity to engage in some future forecasting. For example, the Internet Accountability Project forecasts that Congress will finally act on bipartisan, bicameral Big Tech antitrust legislation. Unlike us mere mortals, Mark Zuckerberg couldn’t wait for January and announced his New Year forecast late last year in his now infamous Metaverse video. To summarize his intentions: not content with having created a fresh hellscape in Web 2.0, Zuckerberg now wants to create an exclusive Facebook online realm, known as the Metaverse, in which we would (presumably) escape his old Facebook dystopia to fully immerse ourselves in products and services created by – guess who? – Facebook. Of course, access to the Metaverse assumes we will first be deemed woke enough for entry into Zuckerberg’s walled garden. Naturally, Facebook alone will get to make this decision, a prospect that should send shivers up the spine of any sentient conservative planning on being alive five years from now.
