During my foray into grad school, one of my favorite professors asked me to write my own manifesto as an assignment. His only instructions were to include a call to action and to "be bombastic." This is a reading of said assignment. My goal here was to put forward the idea that virtual worlds like the Metaverse are not only unnecessary but actively distract us from actual revolutionary activity. In attempting to explain this idea, the reasoning led me to conclude this idea can be expanded to larger illusions in society that keep us from fully understanding where we stand.
