Prepping is not a new idea, or a good one. As someone who grew up during the Cold War, I still remember the government offering fallout shelter plans along with advice on how much ammo to have when your neighbours come for your food.
As for the metaverse, it is a voluntary "Matrix" with crappier graphics. It's not a new or good idea either, as many have pointed out with reminders about Linden Lab's "Second Life", which is now 20 years old.
Rather than twisting on the horns of a false dilemma, we (the human race) have to actually do the work required to create a new vision for the future that is not "TWAWKI".
