bent

Seems bent this metaverse. This vague shift In interaction and immersion. It’s not a deepening of the way in which we experience our world its the creation of another. A virtual alternate. What is wrong with the universe we have? Always in a rush to be somewhere else forever oblivious to where we actually are. What if there is nothing to be desired. That is not already here and now.
